Instructions
Remove your turkey breasts from the packaging and drain all of the juices. Allow the breasts to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Combine half of all of your seasonings with the softened butter and pressed garlic and mix until smooth.
While gently separating the skin from the meat with your hand, rub the meat of the bird with your seasoned butter.
Prepare your smoker as needed and preheat it to maintain a temperature between 225° and 240°. For our cook we used cherry wood.
Apply oil to the entire exterior of the breast then pat the seasoning onto the breasts.
Combine the rest of your seasonings.
Pat, don't smear, the mixed seasoning on.
Insert an internal meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. Be sure to avoid any bones.
When the breasts reaches 165°, remove it from the smoker, place it on a clean cooking tray.
Tent the entire breast with foil and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes.
Once your turkey has rested the 15 minutes, remove the foil and begin to slice it in quarter inch thick slices. Plate, serve and enjoy!
