Pellet Grill Smoked Turkey Breast
Tender, juicy, smoked turkey that's perfect for BBQ or sandwiches!
Equipment
- 1 Smoker I used a pellet grill
Ingredients
- 1 Turkey Breast Mine was 2.75lb.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- ½ tbsp smokey garlic paprika (or add more regular paprika or chili powder)
- 1 tsp Halabi (Aleppo) pepper flakes Substitute ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start by working on the rub. Mix all of the dry spices together. Rub down the turkey breast with the olive oil, then evenly pat the spice mix onto the turkey. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, up to overnight.
- Next, preheat your smoker to 225F and fill a water tray at the base of the smoker. If you are using a smoke tube, set it up now.
- Smoke the turkey until the internal temperature reaches 160-165F. Refill the water tray as needed. You should expect this to take around 4 to 5 hours.
- After the internal temperature is reached, take the turkey out and wrap it in foil or butcher paper. Let the turkey rest in an off oven or microwave for 20 minutes.
- Slice the turkey into thin slices, and serve on a sandwich or with sides. Enjoy :-)
