Could this be cured before smoking?

mattman

What is “pickle spice” ? Pickling spice perhaps?

Kevin G

“Skin the breast before using”— could you clarify that? Before using the skin? The breast? And using it for what?

Myra R

To clarify a bit more: After cooking, remove the skin. Discard the skin. Serve the Turkey Breast meat without any skin attached.

Myra R

I think it means to remove the skin after cooking but before eating. i.e. Do not serve with the skin.
