Smoked Turkey Breast

Cooking a turkey breast is a great alternative to smoking a turkey for your Holiday meal. Plus it is easier than carving a whole bird and presents beautifully!
In this recipe Matt shows you a twist on traditional turkey. Instead of using our typical seasonings for turkey such as our Holy Voodoo, Honey Hog or Gospel, Matt goes with our central Texas flavored Holy Cow! Typically reserved for beef but we wanted that pepper forward bite. We also teach you an optional glaze.
We source turkey lobes from our food service provider Ben E. Keith. However, this method can be applied to any type of turkey breast. Enjoy!

To those who do find a turkey breast at your grocery store, make sure to read the fine print because a lot of them come pre-brined (or soaked in salt.) You won't need to brine it if this is the case. Take it from someone who did. lol

For the record, my wife hates turkey...or she did until I followed Matt's video today. All I can say is this is the best turkey I've ever eaten and I've eaten at all the places in Lockhart and many other places. If you have any doubts stow them away and try this. It's fantastic. Thanks Matt!

I did this method on chicken breast last night. Brined, injected with Mexican chicken bouillon, mayo, holy cow, and honey hog. Basted with herb butter. Pellet grill at 275 and they were at 160 in an hour. Everyone thinks I’m a magician, I’ve never made chicken that good before. Thanks Matt

Truly amazing!!! I’ll be doing this at Thanksgiving. Shout out from Cleburne, Texas!

Holy cow, or should I say turkey, just pulled 3 pounds off the BGE, phenomenal. Got the bird at Aldi. Goodbye boars head turkey. Now have a WAY superior alternative for lunch meat. Thanks for the video!!

Tried this with a bone in turkey breast. The mayo binder is a great idea, thanks for that. Smoked it on my BGE. My son said it was the best turkey he’s ever eaten. Got to agree, it was fantastic.

Just wanted to let you know I'm not a big fan of buying rubs on line. With that said I found a hardware store in Nov Scotia Canada that carries your products. The salesman told me your stuff is the best. He gave me a couple of different rubs from his personal supply. Now I'm hooked on your rubs! I've bought four different kinds and love them all. Great job, buddy! My customers are asking me how I've stepped it up and told them I changed to your rubs. Hats off to the salesman for giving me some of his stuff. I make my own but your stuff is the bomb. 🍻🇨🇦

Holy Cow on Poultry is just the BEST ! We love Smoked Turkey with Holy Cow on it - i'll for sure try the Mayo binder next time - great idea ! Can't wait to see what your next video is !! Keep up the great YouTube Content !

I followed Matt’s recipe almost to the letter. I wanted more smoke flavor so I went about 200 degrees for 4 hours. An absolute killer recipe. The secret sauce is the finishing glaze. Wow. I used the MC Holy Cow rub. Only thing I’d do differently next time is back off the amount of rub. I went too heavy and it was a tad too peppery for my fam.

Smoked 2 turkey breats tonight, 1 with this method, 2nd one with another. They turned out absolutely phenomenal. Took me a little over 2 hours to cook fully though. Had right about 10 pounds of turkey in the smoker. I'll definitely be doing this for Thanksgiving this year!

All Right! This is the best Turkey I've ever made. The mayo works! Outstanding!!

[OkieGezzer]

Followed the recipe to the letter, and my wife said it was the best turkey I have ever done and that says a great deal and I'm a hero. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving dinner a true home run!!!

[DannyMacNair]

I usually make two birds, one in the oven for the traditional folks and one on the smoker. Smoker always comes out best in my opinion, unfortunately less people attending this year but you just gave me a great idea with this video. Looking forward to more videos, thank you and have a great thanksgiving

Tip for people seeing as it's close to Thanksgiving and this video will be popping up in your feed just like mine. If you live in an area that has Harris Teeter their Young Turkeys are amazing bang for the buck. I smoke one every year for Thanksgiving and it's always a hit with the whole family.

[skylarrupp]

I did your smoke whole turkey last year and it was the best I have ever done. Doing it again this year and since I have more people this year, I am adding this recipe. Can't wait to try it out. great video!

[shanewolven]

Holy Cow! Literally! Definitely trying this!

[brycebenn]

I did a few Turkey Breasts for Thanksgiving (Canada) a month ago. I used Holy Voodoo and it was great!

[zachattack]

This is the second product I have used of yours. It truly is a world class product. First time I have ever cooked turkey and it was great!

[RumandCook]

Love me some smoked turkey. Thanks for sharing.
