Man guys, those turkeys look fantastic!

It was just the wife and I today and she doesn't care for smoked foods. I put my man card in the safe and did a turkey breast sous vide. Turned out really good, but not as good as smoked.

Brined for 24 hours, injected with butter, and smoked vertically for 10 hours. Honestly the absolute best turkey I've ever had in my life. Never going frozen again. It was so insanely moist that nobody even tried to put gravy on it.

I'm thinking a smoked leg of lamb for Christmas.

I plan on brining and then injecting creole butter. I originally was going to go with a dry brine this year but I instead picked up the brine that @hdsoftail1065 was mentioning from Costco.
What did you think of that brine?

Never tried sous vide. So it's almost a low temp pressure cooker? I do inject my turkey with creole butter!!

Not a pressure cooker at all. Pressure cooking makes things cook faster. Sous vide cooking is very slow. The concept is that you put the food into the temperature controlled water until it reaches the same temperature as the water. Makes it very hard to over cook something. Want your steak cooked to 127F? Set the sous vide to 127 and let it sit in there for 1 to 2 hours. Too long and it starts impacting the texture

Sous vide is honestly my absolute favorite way to cook meats. It's literally he only way I'll cook a pork chop. It's just a shame that it adds time and complexity to cooking.
