I did 144F for 2.75 hrs. Came out pretty decent flavor and moist . I cut it sort of carving board sandwich style and will freeze it in a few portions for sandwiches. Did not sear because I was freezing it for sandwiches.

    It’s so good for sandwiches and so much better than paying $10 lbs! I pickle brine mine, really good!

    Is 144F considered safe for turkey? I always thought it needed to be 157F or higher? Interested in trying this…

    I do this too, but I glue two inverted breasts together with Moo Gloo, wrap in plastic wrap so it makes a cylinder and SV in a big vacuum bag. I cook it, chill in the bag overnight, and smoke it for a couple of hours the next day.

    I used Kenji’s chart too, and 145 seems perfect if you are eating it today. I actually find 150-155 to be better if I am slicing and freezing. At 145, after thawing, the turkey slices are really wet.
