Equipment

  • 1/2 cup pellets

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bone-in turkey breast half about 1-1.5 pounds
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill to 250°F on the SMOKE setting, and fill the hopper with your choice of smoker pellets.
  • Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  • Break the butter into 4 smaller knobs and press it under the skin so it rests between the meat and the skin. Move the knobs apart so they’re in 4 different locations under the skin.
  • Combine the brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried sage, and onion powder in a small bowl to make the BEST poultry rub.
  • Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to coat it evenly.
  • Place the turkey breast on the grill, bone side down.
  • Smoke for 30-40 minutes with the lid closed, or until the internal temperature reaches 162°F.
  • Remove the turkey breast from the grill and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • Slice the turkey breast and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
  • Letting the turkey rest after smoking helps retain its juices.
  • Brine the turkey breast overnight before smoking for an extra layer of flavor.
