Easy Smoked Turkey Breast

This recipe uses a 'pumped' turkey breast, or one that has already been brined. The package will state 'contains up to 8% of a solution of water, salt, spices to enhance tenderness and juiciness'. Normally I would use a natural turkey that does not contain such a solution, but the goal was to make as easy a turkey breast as possible.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fire up your smoker for cooking at 325 F. If you're using a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker (or any smoker that uses a water pan), line the water pan with foil and do not add water.
  • Use a fruit wood or lighter wood such as hickory.
  • Place the turkey breast meat side up in the center of the smoker.
  • Smoke until the meat reaches 165 F as measured in several locations.
  • Remove and let rest 30 minutes before slicing. Do not cover with foil as this will cause the skin to get soggy.
