Favorite Boneless Turkey Breast?

jadams03

Hi all, I'm relatively new to the Forum and looking for any suggestions.

I'm doing some boneless turkey breasts this weekend on the Egg and looking for any better ideas.

In the past I have done the following ( all at 225-250 degrees with a light apple wood smoke):
1. lemon juice rub, followed by salt, garlic and then paprika- good
2. Buxton Hall Buxton Turkey rub- very nice, pronounced fennel taste which I liked but not all were true fans
3. rubbed with Momofuko savory seasoned salt- great umami flavor, perhaps a bit more salty than needed (would go a little lighter on the rub next time)
4. Smoked Miso butter (recipe on Just One Cookbook- https://www.justonecookbook.com/smoked-miso-butter-turkey-breast/)- really turned out well, a crowd pleaser

Anyone out there have a rub or prep that you would recommend? 

Going to do a couple of turkey breasts this Saturday to take over to a friend's Derby Party so have to show my "A" game!

Thanks!

I have used this recipe on boneless/skinless turkey breast roasts in it was a crowd pleaser.

A simple brine, and Mickey’s coffee rub.  Smoked/roasted indirect at 350 until it hits 155 internal.  

It’s made with ancho chili powder so it’s a deep, smoky Mexican BBQ flavor, but not spicy.  I bet it would go well with bourbon, given that it’s a Derby event. 

If you do make that coffee rub, it goes well with beef as well. 

Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee (Medaglia D’Oro is good)

Equal part: Brown Sugar

½ part: Black Pepper

½ part: Kosher Salt

½ part: Garlic Powder

¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder

For turkey breast we like to just use Dizzy Pig shakin the tree (great lemon pepper rub} and a little butter rubbed over the breast     or we also do them in slow cooker

Thanks to all of you- @Ike, @SaltySam and @GoldenQ!  Each of these sound fantastic, and I am going to work through each in order. And @Ike thanks for the link to the site in the eggheadforum on this- I had searched and hit some but missed this (very helpful) one. I hope all of you have a great Derby weekend!

Some good recs have already been  made.  Brining a turkey breast is the pro move IMO. And, even though @Mickey ‘s coffee rub may appear simple, it’s pretty damn good. 

The Momofuku Spicy salt is really good. I’ll bet that a brined turkey breast, seasoned with that, would be well received.

As of late these two:

I will occasionally try something different, but always come back to Mickey's coffee rub for turkey and chicken.
