Ingredients

scaled from 8 servings
  • 1 1/4 lb bone-in turkey breast
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Dissolve the salt and sugar in 2 quarts of water and brine the breast for 4 hours.
  2. Pat very dry and rub with softened butter, paprika and garlic powder.
  3. Smoke at 275°F until the thickest part reads 160°F, about 3 hours.
  4. Rest 20 minutes tented with foil — carryover heat brings it to a safe 165°F — before carving across the grain.
  5. Warm the broth with any collected juices and spoon over the slices.
