One of my all time favorites on the smoker is turkey breast. It's simple, quick, delicious, and perfect for tons of great leftover recipes as well

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Turkey Breasts They often come in packages of 2. Boneless is best, but bone-in works too
  • 4 Tbsp Butter Divided into 1 Tbsp chunks
  • 2 Tbsp Your Favorite BBQ Rub

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F
  • Remove the turkey from its packaging and apply a generous, even layer of your favorite BBQ rub to each side
  • Place the turkey breast into a foil pan
  • Place the foil pan on the cooking grate, and let smoke until the turkey reaches about 120 degrees F internal temperature
  • Place 2 slices of butter under the turkey breast, and 2 more on top. Place foil over the top of the pan, and let smoke until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 162 degrees F
  • Remove the turkey from the heat, and let rest in the foil pan for about 15-20 minutes
  • Slice against the grain, and enjoy!
