I decided to do a turkey breast on my new 14 1/2" WSM for Mother's Day. I hadn't had a chance to use it yet. We haven't had turkey since last Thanksgiving so it sounded like a good mid year (almost) selection. Went with a 6 lb., bone in skin on, breast. Made some Honey Mustard on the side. To go along with the turkey also did some of my traditional Pecan Bread Stuffing. Rounded it off with Roasted Green Beans with Lemon Oil. For dessert I did another Rum Cake in my 22 1/2" WSM. This will be a two part post so it's a little picture heavy.

Started things off Saturday afternoon by brining the breast for five hours.



Removed from brine and rinsed breast thoroughly and let sit in the fridge for about 16 hours.



Got the mini settled in at 225 and got the breast on the grate.



Mini holding steady at 225.



Got celery and onion going in butter for the stuffing.



Stuffing is mixed and ready for a loaf pan to go on a little later.


The breast is done. Probe tested at 160 to 165 IT.



Let the breast rest for 15 to 20 minutes while I finished up with the stuffing and green beans.



Sliced up one side of the breast. Meat was moist and juicy. I had used apple wood for my smoke with water in the pan.



Got the beans, coated in the lemon oil, going for about 6 minutes.



Part 2 is on it's way.

While the beans were cooking I quickly put together the mustard sauce.



Got the stuffing in the loaf pan and ramped up the smoker to 350. Put stuffing in smoker



Green beans are done.



Green beans ready to serve.



Stuffing is done. Nice and hot and toasty.



Plated and ready to eat.


Here's the rum cake I made earlier in the day. Cake on the WSM.





After one hour, cake is done. Cooked at 325.



Cake is glazed and ready for the plate, after the turkey dinner of course.



Well, that's it. It was a great dinner and my wife loved it and was very happy. Sorry for the length of the post, but it was fun. Once again, thanks for viewing.
