3The Cook

    • Place the thermometer probe into the thickest part of your pork loin without touching the bone and position it in the pan at the center of your pellet grill.

    • Cook your pork loin until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. This should take about 1 hour 20 minutes.

    • Transfer your pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

    • Serve over a bed of turnip greens.
