Share
Ingredients
- Boneless turkey breast, any size
- Mayonnaise
- Simply Marvelous Pecan Rub
- Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
- Spray butter
Directions
Turkey Prep:
Remove skin and trim any silver skin or cartilage.
Slather with a light coat of mayonnaise and a medium coating of Simply Marvelous Pecan Rub.
Smoking the Turkey:
Smoke with pecan wood at 300° F. Mop or spray with butter every 30 minutes.
At 150° F, glaze turkey breast with Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle Sauce. Cook until the turkey reaches 165° F.
Remove form heat and rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice thin and as the Smoke Freaks would say, #FreakON!
Behind the Smoke:
This recipe is courtesy of the Smoke Freaks, winners of Turkey Smoke at the Honor Q competition held in Illinois in September 2020. Here’s what they had to say about their entry:
The goal: tender, juicy turkey that tasted like BBQ, not Thanksgiving dinner. After all, it was a #TurkeySmoke competition. So we went with good ole’ pecan wood for the smoke, trusty Simply Marvelous Pecan rub and decadent Blue’s Hog Raspberry Chipotle sauce.
This delivered a beautiful balance of salt, sweet, savory and heat but make no mistake, there was definitely a kick of flavor for an oh-so-fire-kissed awesome flavor experience.
