Just breasts can dry out, make sure you use a good brine.

No need to brine, just grill/smoke at 350, until breasts are 160.

Agree to not do low and slow. However, disagree on brine. Brine is needed IMO

I would spatchcock a 24 or so lb. whole turkey, and smoke that.

I'll take the dark meat over breast meat any day. Just my opinion.

Skin is intact.

I've smoked just turkey breast. I always wrap in bacon when smoking chicken or turkey breasts. Turns out great.

I've smoked turkeys each way (whole, spatchcocked, quartered, and just breasts)
