It tasted like a delicious ham more than anything.

My father-in-law made the cutting board. It's a pig on the one end and a turtle on the other I was gonna pitch it, but the wife intervened. I've now come to kind of like it in a weird way.
Personally I would likely pull the breast at 148F and let it carry over to about 150F.
Poultry temps stated are always for the legs
Breasts are always ready about 10F below the legs
