The Best Smoked Turkey Breast

Step 1

Make the brine. Combine all ingredients for the brine in a large bowl and whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve.

Step 2

Brine the turkey breast. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.

Step 3

Preheat. Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F. Apple wood goes great with this meat to compliment the apple cider.

Step 4

Season. Remove the turkey breast from the brine and pat dry. Sprinkle the turkey breast on all sides with Sweet Rub or Turkey Rub.

Step 5

Smoke. Place the turkey breast on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for approximately 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 6

Rest and enjoy. Remove the turkey from the smoker. Cover lightly with foil, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
