I cooked a large turkey breast at 148F for three hours, then basted it with herbed butter and a bit of maple syrup, followed by 20 minutes in the oven to crisp the skin. The syrup was just a little bit to accelerate browning. It was perfect, moist and juicy all the way to the bone, with bronzed skin. It was the most relaxed Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked. I'd need a bigger vacuum sealer to cook a whole bird though unless I break down the carcass first.
