I wanna smoke a turkey breast for Easter. I went to Whole Foods and they were expensive - like $40 for a breast. Went to Albertson's and no luck. Does any place have turkey breasts? Or should I just be prepared to pay up?

TIA

You have time to go to a local grocer and order one. If not you can buy a whole Turkey, thaw it and debone the breast. Save the other parts for a Gumbo. Or smoke a smaller whole turkey

Does it have to be fresh? I think they have frozen breasts next to the frozen turkeys at most stores. It might be a double breast with the breast bone like this:

I think I've also seen boneless ones like this:

ETA: It is more per pound than a regular whole frozen turkey, I think it's sometimes as much or more just to buy the breast as opposed to buying the whole thing.

I've bought them at Whole Foods before and don't remember paying that much for turkey. I have always thought it was s decent price there. Interesting.
