You don't need a smoker; any covered grill will give the same effect. Simply place the turkey breast on the cool side of the grill and use soaked wood chips. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa |
2 teaspoons paprika |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (6-pound) whole turkey breast |
2 cups mesquite chips |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 10 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cool. Combine lime juice mixture and turkey in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours. Soak wood chips in water at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
2. Preheat gas grill to medium-hot (350° to 400°) using both burners. Turn left burner off. Place wood chips in a disposable foil pan or a foil packet pierced with holes on grill over right burner. Remove turkey from marinade; discard marinade. Place turkey, skin side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray over left burner. Cover and cook 1 1/2 hours. Turn turkey over; cook 15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 170°. Remove turkey from grill. Cover loosely with foil, and let stand at least 10 minutes before carving. Discard skin.
