🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub with canola oil, then coat evenly with the peppercorn spice mix (pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme).
2. Preheat your smoker to 275°F (135°C). Use mesquite or hickory wood for a deep smoky flavor.
3. Smoke the turkey: Place the turkey breast on the smoker. Spritz with lager beer every 20 minutes to keep it moist and add flavor.
4. Wrap and finish: After about 2 hours, wrap the turkey breast in foil with butter and continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Rest and slice: Let the turkey rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain all the juices.
