Ingredients
1 turkey breast, 4 to 6 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt, only if the turkey breast is not pre brined
Instructions
-
Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Pat the turkey breast dry, then coat it with olive oil or melted butter.
-
Season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and brown sugar.
-
Place the turkey breast on the smoker, skin side up, and insert a thermometer into the thickest part.
-
Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Rest the turkey breast for 20 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Cook to internal temperature, not time.
Skip extra brining if you use a butterball smoked turkey breast that is already pre brined.
Resting keeps the turkey moist and helps every slice stay tender.
