Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 20 ounce boneless turkey breast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped finely
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill, chopped finely

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the smoker to 250°F.
  2. Sprinkle the turkey breast with salt, then rub with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  3. Place the turkey breast in the smoker and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 150°F, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  4. While smoking, melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add chopped dill and parsley, and stir to combine.
  5. At 115°F internal temperature, baste the turkey with the herb butter. Continue basting at 135°F and 150°F.
  6. Once the internal temperature reaches 160°F, remove the turkey from the smoker, baste with remaining butter, and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make sure to allow the turkey to rest to retain its juices.
