Preparation Steps
1
Pat the wild turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the breast.
2
In a bowl, combine the Hungarian sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Thoroughly rub this spice mixture all over the turkey breast.
3
Soak the smoked wood chips in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning too quickly during the smoking process.
4
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (110°C). Place the seasoned turkey breast on the rack and add the soaked wood chips to the smoker.
5
Smoke the turkey breast for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accurate measurement.
6
Remove the turkey breast from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat.
7
Slice thinly and serve with salad, roasted vegetables, or fresh bread.
