Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoked Turkey Breast Fillet.
Step 1
Start by preheating your smoker to a cozy 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab some hickory chips and add them according to your smoker's instructions to infuse that delicious smoky flavor.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine chicken broth, melted butter, salt, and poultry seasoning to create a savory injection mixture.
Step 4
Using a meat injector, carefully inject this flavorful blend throughout the turkey breast, ensuring every bite will be juicy and packed with flavor.
Step 5
Next, melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter in a small dish and brush it generously over the surface of the turkey breast, giving it a beautiful sheen.
Step 6
In another bowl, mix together salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create a delightful rub.
Step 7
Sprinkle this mixture generously over the entire turkey breast, making sure to coat all sides evenly for a burst of flavor in every slice.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to place your seasoned turkey breast in the preheated smoker.
Step 9
Let it smoke for about three hours, or until the internal temperature reaches a perfect 160°F (71°C).
Step 10
Once it’s done, carefully remove the turkey from the smoker and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 11
This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavorful.
Step 12
After the wait, slice into your beautifully smoked turkey breast and enjoy the fruits of your labor!.
