(MN) Little Fatty

The smaller brother to the three bird Big Fatty!

Ingredients 

- One large Turkey breast, rubbed in BGE Whirly Bird Rub
- 35-40 slices of smoked bacon
- 25 slices of Smoked Applewood Cheese

Method

First, brine the turkey over night in a mix of your choice, this is an optional step but really helps keep the bird moist. 

I used.

- 1 litre orange juice
- 3 litre water
- 500g brown sugar
- 500g kosher salt
- 2 Star Anais
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 1 Garlic Bulb squashed
- Handful of Rosemary
- Hanful of Thyme

After leaving over night wash Turkey Breast and pat dry

Then, lay out clingfilm and lay out row 1 of bacon..


Sprinkle with black pepper



Add applewood cheese



Add bird


Add cheese and bacon to the top and use the clingfilm to wrap


Once complete, roll in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 mins, longer if you can..

Bring BGE to 225f in indirect mode, add Apple Wood Chips and put on the bird!


Smoke until internal temp reaches 165f, this took me about 4 hours but can vary .

Slice and serve!!
