Ingredients
Brine
- 16 cups water
- 1½ cups kosher salt
Turkey
- 1 turkey breast (bone in)
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Instructions
Brine
- Combine the 16 cups water and the 1½ cups of Kosher salt. Immerse the turkey breast in this solution, cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
Turkey
- Preheat your grill to 225 degrees while preparing the turkey.
- Remove breast from fridge and pat dry.
- Mix together the butter, black pepper, salt, rosemary, thyme, garlic and poultry seasoning.
- Pull skin of the breast back and spread the butter mixture under the skin.
- Place the turkey in a disposable pan and put the pan on the bottom rack of your preheated smoker grill. I did have to remove the top rack for the pan to have a good clearance.
- Set a timer for 2-1/2 hours. Check the internal temperature of the turkey breast. It should be approximately 140 degrees.
- Reset the grill temperature to 300 degrees and cook for approximately 2 more hours. Check the temperature of the turkey halfway through. When the temperature reaches 160-165 degrees, it is done.
- Remove your Trager Turkey Breast from the grill and allow it to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
