THE BEST SMOKED TURKEY BREAST RECIPE

Turkey Rub 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp garlic salt 1 tbsp onion salt 1 tsp seasoning salt 1 tsp fresh ground pepper 1/4 cup room temp butter

INGREDIENTS

Turkey Injection Marinade 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup oil 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup water 1/2 fresh lemon juiced 1 tsp ground sage 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp garlic salt 1 tsp onion salt

INGREDIENTS

Thaw your turkey breast completely, rinse and pat dry.

STEP 1

Mix your injection marinade ingredients together and fill syringe. Poke 1  hole and move the needle into different positions as you push out marinade into the turkey. Do this in different parts of the bird, making as little holes as possible while getting the marinade in as much of the bird as possible.

STEP 2

Take the soft or melted butter and rub all over the turkey, under the turkey skin and in the cavity. Mix the rub spices together and rub all over bird, in cavity and in under skin also.

STEP 3

Wrap turkey in cling wrap so it is completely covered and refrigerate 1 hour-24 hours. The longer the better!

STEP 4

Prepare your smoker by adding pellets (we use an applewood pellet but you can use your favorite!) and starting your smoker to preheat to 225.

STEP 5

Add turkey, breast side up, to the smoker. Insert probe and close lid. Allow smoker temp to raise 350, but not over.

STEP 6

The turkey needs to come to an internal temp of 165 degrees. Once internal temp of 165 is reached, remove from smoker, and let rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve!
