Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Turkey Breast 20 oz.
- 2 Sticks of Butter 1 cup
- 3 Sage Sprigs
- 3 Thyme Sprigs
- 3 Rosemary Sprigs
- 1 Bulb of Garlic peeled
- 1 Tablespoon Coarse Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Coarse Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees.
- Evenly season both sides of the turkey, by sprinkling one seasoning at a time all over the turkey. Start with the salt.
- Place on the smoker and cook for about 1 ½ hours or until the turkey hits an internal temperature of 150 degrees.
- Place the sticks of butter in a small, oven safe dish, along with the fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme. Place in the smoker, next to your turkey breast, and leave it to smoke, uncovered, until the butter mixture is needed.
- When the turkey hits 150 degrees, remove it from the smoker and place it in a foil boat.
- Remove the rosemary and thyme from the butter. Pour the butter mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over the turkey in the foil boat. Finish wrapping the turkey in the foil.
- Place the turkey back in the smoker and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 160 degrees, then remove and rest for 15-30 minutes.
- Slice and serve!
