Ingredients

4 lb turkey breast boneless, skin-on
1 tbsp black pepper course ground
1 tbsp Kosher salt
½ tbsp granulated garlic

Instructions

Preheat your smoker to 250°F.
Remove the netting (if applicable) from your turkey breast.
In a small bowl combine the black pepper, kosher salt, and granulated garlic.
Pull the skin back off of your turkey breast and season the meat on the inside.
Replace the skin and pull until taut.
Season the outside of the breast with the remaining rub mixture.
Place directly on the grates of the smoker and let smoke for 1 to 1½ hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Does my turkey breast need to be boneless and skinless? No, this is a personal choice. If you're looking for a slightly healthier option then skinless is the way to go.

What if I don't have Kosher salt? You could use table salt but reduce the quantity to half that of Kosher salt.
