Three ingredients and some Traeger smoke are all it takes for moist and flavorful turkey. Slice it up for sandwiches or enjoy it with the traditional sides for a Thanksgiving or any-time feast.
Prep Time
Cook Time
Pellets
1 Large | Turkey Breast, boneless skinless |
1/4 Cup | Duke's Mayonnaise |
Meat Church Holy Cow BBQ Rub |
1/2 Cup | honey |
1/4 Cup | Dijon mustard |
2 Tablespoon | Meat Church Holy Cow BBQ Rub |
Step 1
Rinse off the breast and pat dry. Slather it liberally in mayonnaise, this will act as a binder for the seasoning. Apply Meat Church Holy Cow BBQ Rub generously to all sides.
1 Large Turkey Breast, boneless skinless
1/4 Cup Duke's Mayonnaise

When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 275°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

275 ˚F / 135 ˚C
Step 3
Place the breast directly on the grill grate and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F in the thickest part. (The breast will continue to cook another 5° or so after it is removed from the grill.)
275 ˚F / 135 ˚C
160 ˚F / 71 ˚C
Step 4
While the turkey is cooking you can go ahead and prepare your glaze (if using). Mix all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce by 1/3. Remove from the heat and set aside.
1/2 Cup honey
1/4 Cup Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoon Meat Church Holy Cow BBQ Rub
Step 5
Drizzle the glaze on the turkey during the last 15 minutes of the cook. I recommend doing this around 158 - 160°F, internal temperature. (This turkey is also delicious as-is, without the optional glaze.)
Step 6
Remove from the grill and let the turkey breast rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
