Turkey Breast CSB w Bacon

[rotuts]

I have quite a few Fz turkey breasts in the freezer.   remarkable at $ 0.69 cents /lb

 

Ive boned one out, removed the two tendons / side and cooked them in the CSB w generic bacon on the top.

 

the most recent two looked like this :

 

 

the bacon is further browned w a torch after they cool.  Easy to do when its 20 F outside.  these were for sandwiches.  each TkBr is about 550 gms

 

here is one cut :

 

 

and 

 

 

I did these in the CSB 30 minutes  at 300 F steam-bake.   plenty of steam when you open the door

 

i thermopen'd them and the 'pen read 160 F.   seemed fairly high for 30 @ 300 F   I can't say if my probe was in the middle or on a lower edge.

 

you can't see it in the first cut pic, but its ''ros-ey'

 

I made a simple sandwich just now   ( these are from yest. PM )  TJ's branded fresh sourdough ( Pig's )   mayo  S & P

 

medium cut

 

no pic of the sandwich, I snarffed it down Toot-Sweet.   it was delicious and the TB remarkably tender and flavorful.   certainly some of that flavor came from

 

the generic bacon  ( On Sale ! )

 

what surprised me is that these TB rival if not surpass my traditional SV  TB's   142.5 x 6 h

 

and were done is 30 minutes.  

 

also, there was plenty of roast turkey aromas in the kitchen  

 

I would have liked to know the real internal temp, but from now on Im doing these this way.

 

this FzTurkBr was in  the fridge for a while, so i did not chop up the carcass, broil , then IP on 'soup' for stock and future gravy.

 

mostly because i was hungry and lazy.

 

"  Better than SV "

 

there, I said it.

 

Steam, Steam, Steam

 

I said that too

[FauxPas]

I think the CSO is my fave way to cook chicken, haven't done turkey yet but I should remedy that. Your breasts and bacon look delish! 

[rotuts]

helm I do think this bacon added ' flavor '

 

its generic, i.e. supermarket brand  """ On Sale """

 

 

as the sale at the branded maker ran out, they sub's Oscar.Mayer

 

its the same stuff, from the same conglomerate

 

its 'mild'  not so smoke ey  and works well with this TurkBr's

 

I do plan to make some with the Benton's I have

 

but this generic TurkBR is Mild flavored   it does taste like turkey, 

 

so I thought Id not over whelm it.

 

new for me  :

 

two Turks work well in the CSB
