In bowl combine the wet rub ingredients and mix well
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs128.ash2/39735_126565294055948_100001074346303_134345_5573857_n.jpg)
Wash the turkey breast, making sure to leave the netting, before applying "Wet Rub"...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs248.snc4/39735_126565300722614_100001074346303_134347_8112593_n.jpg)
Apply "Wet Rub"...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs128.ash2/39735_126565304055947_100001074346303_134348_7663485_n.jpg)
In a second bowl combine dry rub ingredients and mix well.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs286.snc4/40659_126565280722616_100001074346303_134344_6013403_n.jpg)
Sprinkle the "Dry Rub" ingredients over the turkey breast, coating it thoroughly.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs301.snc4/40390_126566677389143_100001074346303_134353_258118_n.jpg)
Once the Smoker reaches 250f...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs126.ash2/39622_126566657389145_100001074346303_134352_6512024_n.jpg)
...place the turkey breast on a rack that was sprayed with a non-stick spray.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs141.ash2/40390_126566680722476_100001074346303_134354_3517770_n.jpg)
Place the rack on the second rest from top. Cook for 2 1/2 hours.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs173.snc4/38012_126567420722402_100001074346303_134356_5360178_n.jpg)
While it cooked I melted some butter in a small saucepan and stir in the maple syrup and honey. After the 2 1/2 hours I coated the turkey with this glaze and cooked for additional 20 minutes and coated again with the rest of the glaze. Cooked until the IT reached 163f.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs173.snc4/38012_126567424055735_100001074346303_134357_8183970_n.jpg)
Next I removed the turkey breast from the smoker.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs173.snc4/38012_126567434055734_100001074346303_134359_6447903_n.jpg)
Placed the turkey on my cutting board...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs003.ash2/33511_126567407389070_100001074346303_134355_5913869_n.jpg)
...let rest under a tented foil for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs147.ash2/40699_126568694055608_100001074346303_134365_448509_n.jpg)
Next I took the kitchen shears and cut away the netting. I then slice the turkey on my slicer.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs149.ash2/40778_126568690722275_100001074346303_134364_4056548_n.jpg)

Cool. Let me know if it works out for you... I can't see why not.
They come 2 to a case. Roughly 20 pounds total - give or take. This last bunch ran about $3.25/lb.
Was at Wally World today and they had Honeysuckle Breast (and it was
shapped like one BIG breast) for $1.29lb. I guess I should have got one.

They'll do that for the bone-in breast ones. Lots of waste, so you still end up paying almost 3 bucks a pound for the breast meat. However, they are still awesome smoked! You just have to carve and serve.
Sony are you a breast man?
Did three of these today, I carved one up to make sandwiches and vac sealed the others. One went to the frig for a few days and the other to the freezer.
Very good
Thanks for the idea here. I happened to be smoking one of these boneless turkey breasts today, so I decided to go ahead and add a nice honey maple glaze. The wife put dijon mustard in our glaze.

I'm more of a Boston Butt man. ;D
Hmm should I be worried?

Sweet. I think you'll really like them..
So here I am this morning cruising thru the forum looking for ideas when I came across your Turkey sandwich photos........ Yum I thought to myself......
That was then and now it's 5:45pm and I've just applied the first batch of glaze to my two beautiful looking hunks of Turkey. :P
Dont know about where you all live but here in southern california it's hard to find fresh turkey breasts boned and ready this time of year ;) Thank goodness for Gelsons!
Can't wait.
Even got all the makings for the sandwiches.
Tio, Welcome to the Forum and G/L with your Turkey!
