Honey Smoked Turkey Breast
If you’re a fan of the Honey Baked Hams brand Turkeys, then you’re gonna love this recipe for Honey Smoked Turkey Breast.
Instead of roasting the turkey breast in the oven, I cook it outside on my Traeger Pellet grill using pecan pellets to give it even more flavor. I also create my version of the sugary crust on the outside by adding a brown sugar/honey glaze at the end and topping it with raw, turbinado sugar. The heat from the pit melts the glaze and gives it a sweet, crunchy texture that goes excellent on turkey.
I start with large boneless, skinless turkey breast. These can be a little hard to source, but if you give Kevin a call down at The Butcher Shoppe in Pensacola, FL / thebutchershoppe he keeps them in stock. You could also trim the breast off of a bone-in version found at your local grocery store. The turkey breast I bought came boneless with the skin intact. I trim the skin off as well as any excess fat or silver skin.
To season the turkey I use Swine Life Mississippi Grind bit.ly/SwineLifeMissGrind . It’s my go-to poultry seasoning because it has a great blend of savory and sweet spices; it also makes a pretty color on the outside after it cooks. Then each breast is injected with Butcher BBQ’s Bird Booster Honey injection bit.ly/BirdBoostHoney . Simply mix it up according to package directions: 1 scoop to 2 cups of water. You can substitute 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, and 4 Tablespoons melted butter.
The turkey breast then goes on the Traeger running at 300 degrees. After 30 minutes, baste each breast with melted butter and cook until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. I use a Thermoworks DOT internal thermometer bit.ly/ThermoworksDOT to monitor the temperature.
To create the Honey Baked effect on the outside of the turkey breast I mix 1 cup of Brown Sugar with 1/4 cup of Honey and 1 Tablespoon each of orange juice and apple juice. Combine the mixture in a small pot over medium heat just until the sugar melts and it turns into a syrup. Brush the glaze over each breast and sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
Continue to cook the turkey breast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. At this point the turbinado will have melted leaving a sugary crust on the outside. Remove the turkey breast from the pit and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. The internal temp will carry over to 165. Slice the breast into 1/4” thick serving slices or you can even shave it for awesome turkey sandwiches.
Honey Smoked Turkey Breast Ingredients:
- 2 turkey breast boneless/skinless
- 1/4 cup Swine Life Mississippi Grind Seasoning bit.ly/SwineLifeMissGrind
- 2 cups Butcher BBQ Bird Booster Honey Injection bit.ly/BirdBoostHoney
- 2 sticks butter - melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon apple juice
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar/sugar in the raw
Honey Smoked Turkey Breast Directions:
1. Prepare pellet smoker for indirect cooking at 300 degrees using pecan pellets for smoke flavor.
2. Remove skin from turkey breast if present and trim excess fat. Season both turkey breast with Mississippi Grind seasoning. Mix Bird Booster Honey according to package directions and inject about 8oz into each breast spreading the injection sites around in a grid pattern.
3. Place turkey breast on pit and cook until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees about 1 hour 30 minutes. Baste with melted butter every 20-30 minutes to keep turkey breast moist and to help brown the outside.
4. Combine brown sugar, honey, orange juice, and apple juice in a small pot over medium low heat. Stirring just until the sugar dissolves and the mixture has a syrup like consistency.
5. Baste each turkey breast with the brown sugar/honey mixture and dust with the turbinado sugar.
6. Continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove the turkey breast from the pit and rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Man every recipe in this channel is legendary.

Just because it looks good doesn’t mean it actually is
Everything Malcom does is Legendary....and yes, it tastes as good as it looks!
@@dgperforms1 how do you know

2:11 Malcolm givin his baby a nice pat lol
Jed adorable lol
He really loves his grills
I DIED😂
Hahahaha malcom is such a good dude
“Just lettin that butter drizzzzzle...”. The passion of this man is undeniable, he’s all in.
Turkey breast is one of the healthiest meats you can eat. *Malcom Reed has entered the chat with a stick of butter and pound of brown sugar*
you want healthy or you want tasty? lol
But it's so good!!!
Never trust a skinny cook, this guys word is good as gold.
butter isn't bad for you. now the sugar.....you right lol
Wholey cow, those turkeys must have been absolute giants from the dinosaur era
We have spent the last 70 year breeding the turkeys to be super sized.
Malcom is a national treasure.
Hey Malcom! Looks like you're losing some weight, looking good brother! Huge fan of the channel, my friends and family can't get enough of my BBQ and it's all thanks to you and this channel. Keep up the good work!
Malcom Reed's baritone voice tickling my ear with "honey smoked turkey breast" is the cure to COVID-19
Your gay
@@rapinbatches Do you have a gay Anthony Truong? What do you want with his gay rapinbatches?
I wish people would just forget about covid-19 for a while
@@rapinbatches bruh your name is suss
@@agentjohnson3973 Well, seeming as though the Earth is basically shut down because of it, I don't see that happening.
Malcom passion while cooking is just priceless.
Man I really love this channel. Malcolm is a great guy & he’s not an ass cook who judges what you do to YOUR OWN food. He just says how he does it and he likes his food. So if you like how you do something good for you. Don’t go tryin to shut down other people! Keep up the great work guys.
Another example of excellence. Thanks for the thorough explanation. Been watching your videos since 2014. Still keeping it fresh and new. Great job!
There's no other way to say it. This man is the best. He does not miss ever. Simply the best!
I did this one today. Gas grill with a smoke tray worked well. I went a little heavy with the sugar so it didn't harden the way I would have liked, but I set my broiler to low and finished the crust in the oven. Best turkey I've ever made - might be the death sentence for Thanksgiving deep fried turkey. Thanks Malcolm, you're a National treasure!
I hope this man lives to be 150 years old. I’ve cooked so much stuff from his videos! He’s a badass. God bless brother
Malcolm, I have learned so much watching your videos. New and older ones. Thank you sir!
I just finished a turkey breast with this recipe but instead of injecting I brined it overnight ... the result is a magnificent balance of sweet and savory and deliciously moist and tender. Love your channel, Malcolm. You absolutely rock!
Every time I try any of your recipes I amaze myself. My BBQ skills have raised to a whole new level. Thank you very much!
I cooked our Thanksgiving turkey breast using this recipe and it’s fantastic. Few tweaks: a 12 hour brine and let it sit with a seasoning on for about 2 hours before cooking on a charcoal grill (indirect method). Everyone loved it! Toys cook time about 2 hours.
Wow the finishing crust! Boom, magic!
Mr. Malcom I wanted you to know my family loved this recipe. I went and got one of those massive Turkey breast from The Butcher Shopp and followed your instruction and what a awesome recipe. Thank you again for all the time you spend on your recipes helping us to be the best back yard BBQ cooks we can be. I hope you can come back to Pensacola FL. again soon. Would love to see you and your wonderful wife again.
No matter how bad my day may be going at the time, if i watch one of Malcolm s videos.. it all just gets better!
Ever since this social distancing and stay at home thing started it's been a perfect time to get to know my smoker. Barely a few days go by before I'm back out there firing her up and getting her ready for the next cook. Just me, some wood, fire, and my smoker. Staying at home hasn't been bad at all, best of all I can see my neighbor watching me over the fence wanting to come over and eat
Malcolm, you have the most interesting and educational videos in the business!
Good video Malcolm, loved the looks of how they turned out. You just know it’s gonna be great. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Love it! Thank you.
I brine my turkey breast in a salt, sugar water brine for 24hrs.
I rinse them, pat dry. Season with dry rub.
Throw on smoker. 250F ish. Light flavored wood. And you’ll have the juiciest turkey breast everytime
Never thought I'd be a youtube BBQ addict, but I am, and Malcolm is the best of them.
I knew there was a reason i've followed you for years!!!! Thanks again Malcom...Stay safe buddy!
This channel is a gem! Glad I found it!
I just want to know who r the 15 ding bats that didn't like this video...Malcom is a wizard on the grill!
It's the people that lose to him in competition 🤣
Watching this the day before Easter in 2021 and I think this is the winning recipe for my cook tomorrow. Looks so good.
THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC
Thanks for a great how-to video. Today was my first time using my pellet smoker and I found this video. I was able to easily follow it and my family loved how well the turkey turned out.
I smoked my first couple of turkey breast yesterday for Thanksgiving. I used your method as a guide with minor changes and everyone said excellent job. It was pretty awesome. Way better than baking a whole turkey.
Once again Malcolm, you knocked it outa the park!!
This channel has up my smoking game 10x! Cheers Malcolm

That looks beautiful
Hey I heard about the tornado outbreak y’all had. Please be safe! I think we all wish you and your family safety and prosperity
Hey Malcome;
I thought I'd take a minute to send a note and let you know that me and the family up here in Canada enjoyed this recipe over this Thanksgiving weekend. I brined the breasts over night (3/4 cup kosher with 1 cup of brown sugar in 8 liters of water). I rinsed them good and dried them on a rack in the fridge for a couple days. My dry rub consisted of sage, thyme, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and smoked paprika ground up in my spice grinder. This was applied on day two and left for one more night. My baste was similar to yours but I added a little Franks and reduced to one half. I love the idea of a sugar coating so I used some demerara for the last half hour. Easily the best turkey I've ever tasted and the rest of the family says the same. This will be a traditional recipe for years to come. Keep doin' what you do!!
Perfection
That little touch of sugar to crust at the end is a great touch man!
For sure. I might do that with some Ham this weekend. Great idea.
Lawddy, lawddddy, you really know "How to BBQ Right." Great video!
Thank you so much! Going to have to give this a try!
