Instructions
- Set your smoker to a steady 250 degrees F / 121 degrees C.
- Liberally apply each seasoning to both sides of the turkey breast, beginning with the salt. Make sure every inch is covered for the best flavor.
- Place the turkey breast in the smoker and let it cook slowly. Aim for about 1 ½ hours or until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F / 65 degrees C.
- Once the turkey reaches 150 degrees F / 65 degrees C, set it into a foil boat, leaving the top open. Drizzle the melted butter over the turkey, then seal the foil tightly around it.
- Continue cooking the turkey breast in its buttery wrap for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 160 degrees F / 71 degrees C.
- Remove the turkey from the smoker and let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, slice it up and serve it hot!
Notes
- To achieve consistent cooking, make sure your smoker reaches the correct temperature of 250 degrees F / 121 degrees C before placing the turkey inside.
- Take the time to evenly coat both sides of the turkey breast with each seasoning to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the turkey’s internal temperature instead of relying on cooking time alone to prevent overcooking and guarantee juiciness.
- Wrapping the turkey in a foil boat and sealing it tightly after adding the melted butter helps retain moisture and flavors during the final cooking phase.
- Allowing the turkey to rest for 15 to 30 minutes after cooking helps redistribute the juices throughout the meat, making the turkey more tender and flavorful when sliced.
- Cut against the meat’s grain when carving the turkey to make the slices softer and easier to chew.
- Storage – Any leftover turkey can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Cool it to room temperature before storing.
