I put a 16-pound turkey breast on the Big Green Egg smoker for four hours at 275-300f, until the thermometer registered 161f. Then, I covered it in foil and several very heavy towels and let it rest for two hours on the countertop in the kitchen. The foil package contains carrots being steamed - they were put on during the last hour to cook. By the time lunch came around, the snow had nearly all melted away.

Weekend cook: Turkey breast
It's a perfect day for a barbecue! The porch was covered in slush Sunday morning.
