Smoked Paprika Turkey Breast
Ingredients
  • 1 (7 pound) whole turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your smoker to the optimal temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit (or 135 degrees Celsius, as specified by your manufacturer).
2
Add the recommended amount of hickory chips to your smoker according to its instructions.
3
In a small bowl, mix together chicken broth, melted butter, salt, and poultry seasoning to create a marinade.
4
Inject this solution evenly throughout the breast of your chicken, making sure it's thoroughly coated.
5
In a separate small dish, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
6
Brush this melted butter evenly over the breast, ensuring it's fully covered.
7
In another small bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
8
Sprinkle this rub evenly over the entire breast, paying close attention to all sides to ensure they're well-coated.
9
Place the breast in your preheated smoker and smoke for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe minimum of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (or 71 degrees Celsius, as specified).
10
Remove the breast from the smoker and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving.
