Let’s get started! Make this Recipe!

A whole turkey is perfect for large groups of people, but if you’ll be hosting a smaller group this Thanksgiving then smoking a turkey breast is likely a better choice for you . A smoked turkey breast delivers the same layers of smoky flavor as a whole turkey, minus the lengthy cook time and mountain of leftovers. Make this Recipe!

BRINE

1. Prepare the turkey brine and unwrap the turkey breast. Submerge in the brine and let it soak for 6-8 hours. After brining, rinse and pat the turkey breast dry.

OPTIONAL

2. Before you begin smoking your turkey breast, let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Starting with turkey straight from the fridge will take longer to smoke because the meat is colder to start with.

SET TEMP

3. Set the Traeger temperature to “smoke.” Make sure to follow Traeger manufacturer preheating instructions before adding meat to the grill. Preheat for 15 minutes.
