Re: Turkey Breast--Which Brand is Best?

@ECBG   I'm in Dallas-Ft. Worth with an abundance of stores, but it will still be a hunt.

I would develop a relationship with the head of the meat department and ask him.

We have had both. If we have the choice it's always Butterball. Sometimes we can only find Honeysuckle.

I am going to order a turkey breast to smoke this weekend and wanted to know if you have a favorite between Honeysuckle White and Butterball?  Those are my choices, so I thought I'd ask.

 

We might help some people getting ready for Thanksgiving too with recommendations and recipes!

 

Thanks

 

I always buy turkey breast for Thanksgiving.  The best I've had is Whole Foods.  The last time I went to get one (about 2 years ago), I was shocked at the cost.  If I remember correctly, it was almost double what I used to pay.  Then I went and got a Honeysuckle.  We were all pleased with it.

UPDATE:  Went to Walmart this morning for the pickup.  They had substituted some "ready to roast" little Butterball thing, which we declined.

 

So that means NO Honeysuckle white and NO Butterball--they had two kinds listed--real breasts.  Just this flat thing in a box from Butterball and we said no thanks.

 

Figured we didn't want turkey jurkey out of the smoker that way!  Woman FrustratedWoman Sad

 

I guess the great 2021 turkey breast freeze out is in progress!  Better luck to y'all!!!
