Boneless Turkey Breast Question

xstitch — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 13:00:40 GMT

I'm looking for a boneless turkey breast (white meat only). Can anyone recommend one that you have cooked and would purchase again? Thanks

@xstitch Since it's just DH & me for thanksgiving dinner, we've switched to just a large turkey breast too. For the last number of years we will pay more for a great farm raised turkey (either whole and now the breast) from a local gourmet market in town where we live. These are hands down the best we've ever had. If you just happen to live in the Columbus oh area, this would be Weiland's Gourmet Market. Giving them a shout out for our delicious dinner!

The only ones I've ever cooked are the Jennie-O brand. I cook them in the crock pot, and they have always turned out very well.

I will pick up one next time they go on sale. There is a gravy packet included that I use when making soup from leftovers.

@xstitch in the past, I have bought fresh, boneless turkey breast at Costco and they were wonderful. They haven't had them the past 2 years. Why?, I have no idea, but I will check next time I go there. Last year I made a frozen Butterball boneless breast and it wasn't bad--not as good as Costco's, but not terrible. These Butterball's are available with just white meat or a mix of white and dark meat. Cost last year was about $10 for about a 3 lb. roast. Costco's were random weights and about $3.50+ per pound. Hope this helps.

@coffee drinker Does Costco usually have frozen whole or breast turkeys or fresh ones? I've never thought to look for them there! Thanks for mentioning it. We are new to Costco.

I got mine from Wegman's and it's Shadybrook Farms. I don't remember if I've gotten before or not. Walmart had turkey breasts about 6 weeks ago and I didn't get before they sold out and they've gotten none back in since, only whole birds Seems they don't stock as many breasts as whole birds and if you don't get it when it's there you're S O L.

The best I ever got was from Whole Foods. But it was bone in turkey breast. Fresh, not frozen. It was about 6 pounds and it fed 6 people and I had plenty left over. There was so much meat on it. Where I lived in California, you could order ahead of time. You could pick what you wanted...organic, natural, whole turkey, turkey breast and weight. They'd do their best to get as close to the weight you wanted. I live in another state now and they don't have any of that...bummer.

If you have a Wegmans nearby, I'd recommend their Honey Brined turkey breast. I buy it all of the time.

I always get my turkey breasts from Trader Joe's and they are brined. Have only bought brined for the last several years. They are more tender.

Butterball. I did a 6 llb one with bones today in my instantpot in an hour. I also do the boneless ones.

lucky-girl — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 22:24:27 GMT

I agree. And their whole brined turkeys are great also.

Hey @Sooner I'm scratching my head. I don't really think I've ever seen fresh or frozen turkeys or breasts. DH says the same. As for turkey breast, I've only seen fresh as I mentioned in my post. Haven't seen them for 2 years. Call your Costco CS desk. They are very nice and helpful. Hope you'll enjoy your membership. We do so much. If ever you need a major appliance, check them first. Great prices, delivery, additional year warranty -- 2 years instead of one.

FYI if anything is unsatisfactory, they'll make it right. I was disappointed in steaks I bought. Brought the receipt and price sticker and my money was refunded.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!

@coffee drinker Thanks for the tips! We just got a store about 6 months agos and are on our Costco Honeymoon! You would not believe the stack of "paper goods" in the garage! We are ready for the bilzzard this winter for sure! LOL!!!

Thanks again!

@SoonerWas that you putting all those paper products, detergent, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, Equal, half & half, booze, etc. in my pantry. I'm telling you, there are only 2 in our house, and I am ready for the Apocalypse. Seriously, I had so many rolls of plastic wrap, aluminum foil, food storage bags that I had to get them out of the cabinets. So I put them in a trash basket just to free up some room. Our Costco "honeymoon" has lasted at least 20 years and still going strong. If that place was any closer (15 miles away), I'd be going there 2x/week. Love it there.

@coffee drinker Yes! That's me! Six packs of organic chicken breasts, 2 "bales" of TP, 3 things of olive oil, the BIG bag of organic black beans, enough toothpaste for the Osmand family for 6 months, brush replacement heads, organic quinoa (the big bag), and so on and so on. I was so enthralled with the big bags of rice I bought one and took it to a local shelter. They were THRILLED!

The horrible thing is they are now putting one CLOSER to us than the new one! What will I do???

Do they sell storage buildings?

Re: Boneless Turkey Breast Question

coffee drinker — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 05:21:50 GMT

@Sooner Yes, I believe they sell storage sheds during the warmer weather. Sometimes they have reps to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Costco has EVERYTHING!!!

I agree about the farm rasied turkey. We buy the same only get them directly from the local organic farm.

We like the Butterball brand but can't always find them.

We made a 3 lb boneless turkey breast in the air fryer. Cooked at 350° for around 45 mins. Check with thermometer 165°. I take it out about 160° to finish cooking while it rests. I rubbed it down with olive oil sprinkled with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage & put pats of butter under the skin.
