Well I got the turkey breast and pork loin seasoned and on the pit.
For the turkey breast used suggestions from a combination of people. I brined the turkey, put pads of butter under skin, sprayed with EVOO, rubbed down, and I stuffed the cavity with a mixture of green grapes(usually use apple but had none), homemade sauerkraut, and some onion.

the stuffing

boob stuffed

boob seasoned

For the pork loin, I also brined, sprayed with EVOO and rubbed.

Here is a handy little tool the gf and I use, you put your oil, we usually some type of olive oil, put the cap on and pump it up, then you can spray your oil easily. It works really good, and a lot less mess than using a paper towel(and lot less waste).

Sorry for the long post, I will update with pics!!!

I will be watching for some more pics. I like your sprayer where did y'all pick that up?

thanks k.a.m.- the gf got it through pampered chef, wasn't that expensive like everything else they have. I do not like using PAM that much, more processed stuff in our diets. Sad

I pulled the loin now after 3.5 hours, 147 degrees internal temp, I glazed with a mixture of whiskey, fresh ground black pepper, peach preserves, apple juice, couple cloves of roasted garlic and a touch of cayenne. Here is the pic before foiling!

I foiled wrapped in towel and stuck in a cooler for later.

The turkey boob is only at 158 degrees, my brine has sodium nitrate in it, what temp does everyone think I should pull that at?

Here are the finished pics!!
The pork Loin

The turkey breast

Everything turned out awesome, I had many many compliments on the pork, it was really tender and juicy. The sauce that I put on it was amazing to say the least!! I will definitely use that again. The turkey breast was really good I thought, but it needed something more. I just basted, I never sauced it with anything, but it was still good, moist and tender.
I also made some abt's, but those were eatin by most of us standing by the pit!!!

WOW that certainly looks GOOD!
I once made a comment to a friend about how I just did not like turkey at all because it is dry. She told me that it wasn't being fixed right if it was dry. I am sure she is right although I have still not had a moist turkey!
Yours looked really good and moist.
Wish I knew how to fix and stuff a turkey like that... !
I would need step by step instructions with pictures. hahaha
Or the Paula Deen show where she shows you how to fix a turkey using the pause button. haha
