Looks like a very nice warm-up cook! Did you use smoke wood and if so what kind?

Looks awesome!
Don't forget to dunk it in a bowl of melted butter as you serve it. That's what he does at his restaurant.

Nicely done.

did you load it up with butter and wrap, like he does at the restaurant.

@Slippy I did not brine, it was not pre-brined. Bought it at Central Market, no injection, around 5 pounds.
@tjv I did load it up with butter and wrap, I deviated from the cook when I removed it at the end to rest. I still needed to finish the sides, so I kept it wrapped in foil on the counter. After an hour it was still around 165 instead of the recommended 140. Next time I will leave it on the counter unwrapped, However, I sliced it thin and it was still very moist, and the rub added the perfect amount of added flavor.
@JacksDad Thanks for the suggestion, I will try dunking in butter before serving with leftovers reheated in the S.V.
During the prep, after removing the skin, I added the rub and let sit in the fridge uncovered for a couple of hours as I heated up the egg, etc.
For the rub, I added some granulated onion, garlic and paprika.

I don’t see the tub of butter his turkey sits in at the shop .

Being in DFW, where did you buy the Whole Turkey breast? I don't think I've ever seen that, then again we don't eat turkey ever except holidays. Franklin's Turkey was some of the best I've ever had and I would love to replicate this.

I’m giving it a go. The turkey I bought was pre-brined. Hope that is not a fatal mistake.Rockwall, TX • LBGE, Big Hat Ranger offset smoker, Really old 22" Weber Kettle, Pile of Pecan and Post Oak...

Would this work with a boneless skinless frozen butterball turkey breast? That’s all I could find. Also if I am wanting to cook it tommorrow for dinner do I need to thaw it out completely or perhaps even brine it tonight?

I think it would work just fine. Thawing a turkey takes a couple of days in my fridge. Being boneless, and probably smaller, it may not take as long to thaw. If nothing else, brining would probably speed that up.Rockwall, TX • LBGE, Big Hat Ranger offset smoker, Really old 22" Weber Kettle, Pile of Pecan and Post Oak...

This is about a 3 lb boneless skinless turkey breast. It’s in the fridge now to try and thaw overnight. If it’s still frozen at lunch I was going to try and leave it out for about an hour before cooking. Figured that’s not long enough to cause any issues.

Quick question: At the start of Step 3 when he says to wrap the turkey after it has turned golden, did you wrap it in foil or butcher paper? I understand using foil when you add the butter in the later step.

So if I cook this thing at 275-300 indirect and it’s about 3lbs it should take about 2-3 hours correct?
