  • 2–4 tbsp unsalted butter

  • Aluminum foil

  • Clear

Directions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your Traeger or oven to 275°F.
  2. Prep the Turkey: Remove the turkey breast from the packaging. Cut off and discard the netting, and pat the turkey completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Inject: Inject Tony Chachere’s Creole Butter evenly throughout the turkey breast— use multiple injection points for the best flavor and juiciness.

  7. Smoke/Roast – Second Stage: Continue cooking the turkey until the internal temperature hits 150°F.
  8. Rest: Let the turkey rest in the foil for 20 minutes and then serve
  9. Serve: Slice the turkey breast. Pour all the buttery drippings over the top.
