Frozen Turkey Breasts

[rotuts]

Stop&Shop had Fz turkey breasts on sale this week :  $ 0.99 // lbs  

 

picked up these two early in the sale :

 

 

thawed , backs removed , and breast split so they would fit in the CSO 

 

each breast was CSO'd  ( conventional , as my water feed is plugged up .  no matter , as the CSO is sealed , 

 

sort of steamed baked .  55 min @ 325 got thew breasts to ~ 140 F , then cooled , meat taken off

 

each Br cut in half , then Vac'd  for future use .  the Fz :

 

 

a little over 1 bus each .  yield close to 50 % .  plenty of cooked meat was scrapped off the bones 

 

and MC is apparently not just s Sardine Cat , but aTurkey lover.

 

the S&S ad said StonyBrookFarm , a better product .  this brand had two plastic bladders of toxic high salt brown

 

gunk , they tried to pass off as gravy .   that stuff would kill you for sure.  and the cavity was filled w water

 

to create a sold block of turkey , toxic bladders and ice.  this brand had the wings removed creating a crater 

 

where the wings might have been.

 

went back latter in the week and they had SBF and this brand.  SBF had no toxic bladders , just a little ice in the cavity

 

and wing meat attacked to the TB's.  it seems SBF rips off the wings , leaving some wing meat attached.

 

its tasty , esp when I did these SV.    CSO'd , the wing meat was tasty , a little dry , but devoured by MC.

 

so 4 TBs processed , 16 vac'd 1 lbs packs in the freezer for future use .

 

no seasoning used in cooking .    these are used @ room temp w freshly toasted and ground 

 

spice blends from Spice Traders , Montreal .

 

in the past Ive used the trimmings for iPot stock , but didn't get to that this time.

 

next time maybe , the next day after the TB's cooking .
