Step 1

In a bowl, combine butter with thyme, minced garlic, rosemary, sage, pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Separate the skin from the defrosted turkey breast and insert butter mixture into the pocket, covering the entire breast and outside of the bird generously.

Step 3

Rub the exterior of the turkey with kosher salt and fresh black pepper.

Step 4

Preheat pellet grill to 225°F

Step 5

Place your turkey on the pellet grill and close the lid. Place an aluminum foil drip pan underneath the turkey and fill with 2-3 cups of water to help keep the environment moist.

Step 6

Smoke the turkey for 6-7 hours. The turkey is ready to come off of the pellet grill when the centermost point of the breast reads an internal temperature of 165°F on your probe thermometer.

Step 7

Remove turkey from grill grates and let it rest on a dish or serving platter for about 20 minutes.

Step 8

Carve, serve, and enjoy!
