How To Smoke A Turkey Breast On A Smoker

With poultry, I still like to brine my meat before smoking to make it extra juicy. I recommend using my Turkey Brine or your favorite brine for this smoked turkey breast recipe.

You’ll want to brine the turkey overnight and then drain and rinse the turkey and pat it dry with a paper towel.

1. Set the temperature of your smoker to 325 degrees F and preheat for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed.
2. Then you’ll finish preparing your turkey by rubbing the softened butter under the skin of the turkey.
3. Next, you’ll combine the spices together in a small bowl and rub all over the turkey breast.
4. Then place the prepared turkey breast on a foil-lined roasting pan with a rack.
5. Cook the turkey breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, usually 1.5 to 2.5 hours. If the breast starts to get too dark, cover it with foil.
6. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.
