Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 7-8 lb Bone-in Turkey Breast
  • 1 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 heads Garlic tops sliced off
  • ½ cup Butter melted

For the Seasoning Blend

  • 2 tbsp Granulated Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Onion
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat smoker to 200degF.
  • In a small bowl combine seasoning blend ingredients, thoroughly.
  • Remove turkey from package and drain off any excess liquid. Pat dry and place in a 9x9 baking dish (disposable aluminum foil is best).
  • Generously brush entire turkey breast with olive oil. Then sprinkle evenly with seasoning blend. NOTE: You should use all of it.
  • Place garlic heads in dish along side turkey.
  • Place on smoker and smoke for 3 hours.
  • Brush skin with melted butter and smoke another hour or until the thickest part of the breast reads at least 165degF internal temperature.
  • Remove from smoker and tent with foil. Let rest at least 30 minutes before removing the breasts from the rib rack. Slice to desired thickness for service.
    NOTE: If using for deli meat, it is best to tightly wrap each breast in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for several hours (or overnight) before slicing on a meat slicer.
