Tough turkey
« on: April 14, 2020, 08:06:05 AM »
Was wondering if anyone tenderizes turkey breasts (cut into strips) before frying or grilling? I've read several brine recipes for tenderness but was thinking hammering them out would work well too. Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated.

Most meats that get hammered lose moisture from what I have tasted.

I tried the brine recipe from Kellyguinn:
BRINE
1.   2 QUARTS WATER
2.   ½ CUP KOSHER SALT
3.   ½ CUP BROWN SUGAR
4.   2 TB GARLIC POWDER
5.   2 TB ONION POWDER
6.   ¼ CUP APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

After soaking for a day, I dried the turkey breasts off with paper towel, then added some kickin' chicken rub and let sit until charcoal grill was ready. While cooking, I applied butter to keep from drying out. Turned out really good.
