SMOKED TURKEY BREAST WITH HONEY MAPLE GLAZE

• 1 turkey breast or half breast, about 4 lbs
• Wet Rub
  • 2 teaspoons brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Dry Rub
  • 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Glaze
  • 4 Tbsp butter (1/2 stick)
  • 3 Tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp Honey (I used creamed honey)

Instructions:

1. Get your fire going and set up your grill/cooker for indirect heat. Hickory, oak, or maple. Apple would also work.
2. While that is coming to temp, mix your dry rub ingredients together. In another bowl, mix your wet rub ingredients together. I like using a coarse ground mustard for this, it just adds to the texture.
3. Rub your wet rub all over your meat. Now sprinkle liberally with your dry rub mix, making sure to get all sides and edges.
4. If you are using a breast , smoke for 2 1/2 hours at 250F. During that time, combine the glaze ingredients over low heat until combined. Glaze the smoked turkey at the 2 1/2 hour mark and then cook another 15 minutes. Glaze again and then cook for another 15 minutes. That should put you at 3 hours and an internal temp of 165F.
