Smoked Turkey Breast

Recipe by Savory Spice Test Kitchen

Grilling & BBQ

Whether you're cooking for a barbecue or a holiday feast, adding smoked turkey breast to the mix is an instant crowd pleaser. We have a nifty cooking tip too: tuck the thin tip of the turkey breast underneath the meatiest part of the breast so it cooks evenly and stays moist throughout.

Directions

Step 1 If brining, prepare brine using Brining Spice instructions and brine turkey breast for 1 hour per pound in the refrigerator.

Step 2 Pat turkey breast dry and coat with 'Cue Glue if using. Sprinkle all sides with salt & pepper then choice of seasoning.

Step 3 Tip: Fold the thin tip of the turkey breast under the meatiest part of the breast to make the breast into a uniform size; this will help it cook more evenly.

Step 4 Prepare smoker with wood of choice and heat to a temperature of 225 to 250 degrees.

Step 5 Place turkey breast in the smoker and smoke until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 degrees; about 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of the breast.

Step 6 Remove breast from smoker and let rest for 30 min. before slicing.

Recipe Notes

*For juicier turkey, brine the breast for 1 hour per pound before smoking it; use our Brining Spice and follow our guide to how to brine a turkey. Savory’s ‘Cue Glue helps BBQ seasoning stick better to smoked and grilled proteins and seal in flavor. When preparing and cooking a turkey, be sure to follow proper food safety and handling guidelines.
