Smoked Turkey Breast

Cooking a turkey breast is a great alternative to smoking a turkey for your Holiday meal. Plus it is easier than carving a whole bird and presents beautifully!
In this recipe Matt shows you a twist on traditional turkey. Instead of using our typical seasonings for turkey such as our Holy Voodoo, Honey Hog or Gospel, Matt goes with our central Texas flavored Holy Cow! Typically reserved for beef but we wanted that pepper forward bite. We also teach you an optional glaze.
We source turkey lobes from our food service provider Ben E. Keith. However, this method can be applied to any type of turkey breast. Enjoy!

To those who do find a turkey breast at your grocery store, make sure to read the fine print because a lot of them come pre-brined (or soaked in salt.) You won't need to brine it if this is the case. Take it from someone who did. lol

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Microscopic print under the netting, "Pre-Brined". I was just getting ready to brine it when I happened to see your post. When you reach the pearly gates and the guy says "What did you do that helped others?" refer him to this post!😄

For the record, my wife hates turkey...or she did until I followed Matt's video today. All I can say is this is the best turkey I've ever eaten and I've eaten at all the places in Lockhart and many other places. If you have any doubts stow them away and try this. It's fantastic. Thanks Matt!

Will be trying the mayo tip this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving). I've brined 3 good sized breasts to feed 13 people. I've never had any notable taste improvements with aromatics (herbs, citrus, etc...). Just salt and brown sugar for me :-). Garlic powder, cumin and black pepper for the rub and away we go to 160 internal temp. A spritz with apple juice every 20 mins and a final baste with butter does it every time. Thanks for the video...I'll be stealing some pointers for sure!

I usually make two birds, one in the oven for the traditional folks and one on the smoker. Smoker always comes out best in my opinion, unfortunately less people attending this year but you just gave me a great idea with this video. Looking forward to more videos, thank you and have a great thanksgiving

Love it, I think I’m going to try this out. I always do an epic smoked Turkey based on a combination of 2 of Malcom Reed’s recipes for a super juicy honey, pepper, thyme, molasses, brown sugar, and salt brined bird. The big thing though he does to keep that skin golden brown and juicy is spray oil which works 100% of the time. I’m curious about this Mayo method and I’m going to try this for a more true BBQ Turkey flavor profile not that there is anything wrong with my other recipe but more to change it up and try something that I’ll associate with summertime instead of the holidays.

I did this method on chicken breast last night. Brined, injected with Mexican chicken bouillon, mayo, holy cow, and honey hog. Basted with herb butter. Pellet grill at 275 and they were at 160 in an hour. Everyone thinks I’m a magician, I’ve never made chicken that good before. Thanks Matt

Gonna combine a couple of your recipes, use the brine, the dukes, then honey hog hot and holy cow so it’s kind of a sweet hot and peppery turkey and then butter basted. So excited for Thursday!

This turned out perfectly. I pulled it at 160 and let it rest for 90 minutes. It was still incredibly moist and had so much flavor. The Holy Cow Rub was awesome on the turkey. I love Rudy’s bbq turkey which is also heavily “Pepper forward” and this was even more tender than the Rudy’s turkey breast. Thanks for the great recipe and guidance. Full disclosure- I couldn’t find any boneless-skinless turkey breast anywhere at any grocery story in the Frisco-McKinney-Prosper-Plano area of Texas. I ended up getting the turkey breast in a saline/salt solution at H-E-B in Frisco so I didn’t do the brine because it had already been sitting in a salted mixture and it came out awesome. I used Hellmans mayonnaise and the meat church Holy cow rub and the rub gave SO much flavor to the turkey. I may have been a little heavy handed, but it’s so delicious. Thanks Matt for another great recipe and great guidance on the cook temp and time.

Helpful hint, Whole Foods usually has the boneless Turkey breasts. It’s probably because they roast Turkey breasts in house for their deli counter, I would imagine.

You could get a bone-in turkey breast and a quality boning knife. Not only would you have two roasts, but you'd also get the skin to crisp up. I've also found boneless, frozen Jenni-O single lobe turkey breasts if you wanted to go the defrost route.

Not Matt here but you can do it in a pan There isn't really much in the way of drippings. Brining and application of the rub keeps the moisture inside. If you do put it in a pan I recommend you use a rack to raise it off of the pan. That way you get the full smoke flavor.

Thanks for uploading this good video of how to make smoked turkey breast. I am trying to find an alternative cheaper option to prepackaged smoke turkey breast deli meat for turkey sandwiches 🥪 for lunches. Do you have any recommendation(s) on how to do this similar smoking of a turkey 🦃 breast in an indoor kitchen convection oven? I am actively looking to do this soon to as prepackaged turkey breast is $13.98/ pound compared to about $3.00/pound for a whole turkey and $5.00/pound for turkey breast at Whole Foods Market. Let me know your tips and recommendations on how to do a similar smoking result in a convection oven. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
