Ingredients
- 20 ounce boneless turkey breast
- 1½ Tablespoons granulated garlic
- 1 Tablespoon coarse salt
- 1 Tablespoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Heat the smoker to 250℉.
- Mix the seasonings together and sprinkle over the turkey breast, being sure to get both sides.
- Place on the smoker and cook for about 1½ hours or until the turkey hits an internal temperature of 150℉.
- Remove breast and place it in a foil boat. Coat with melted butter and wrap tightly.
- Continue to cook for 15 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 160℉, then remove and rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
- If your turkey comes already brined, cut the amount of salt in half.
- Using 2 pieces of foil to wrap the turkey breast helps to ensure that no butter leaks out.
- For the best presentation, place the smooth side of the turkey down when wrapping in foil and place it back in the smoker in the same way.
- This recipe was developed on a pellet smoker, but also works on an offset smoker, or even a conventional oven. Nothing about the recipe needs to be changed, including temperatures.
- Oak is a great choice of wood for this recipe, but fruit woods like apple and cherry are also good.
