Learn how to make an amazingly juicy, Traeger smoked turkey breast.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter ((melted))
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper ((or black pepper))
  • 7 lbs turkey breast
  • 1 tbsp Tajin seasoning
  • 2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 tbsp sage
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk turkey marinade injection ingredients together until combined. Use a marinade injecting syringe to inject the marinade into the turkey breast.

  2. 2

    When there's approximately ¼ cup of marinade left, stir the turkey seasoning ingredients into the marinade to make a paste. Rub this paste all over the turkey breast, including the cavity. At this point, cover and refrigerate the turkey for one hour or more to let the flavors penetrate the meat.

  3. 3

    Bring the turkey to room temperature. Heat Traeger to 225°F. When the smoker is ready, place the turkey directly on the grill and stick the probe into the thickest part of the turkey breast. Set the probe temperature to 165°F. Use super smoke if you have that option. Smoke until the probe reaches 165°F.

  4. 4

    Tent the turkey breast with foil and allow it to rest for approximately 10 minutes before slicing.
