Brining adds moisture to the meat so that as it cooks and smokes, it will remain moist and tender.

Here’s how to Brine a Turkey Breast:

1. In a large pot, combine:
4 cups apple cider
2 smashed cloves of garlic
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. allspice
1/3 cup kosher salt
3 bay leaves
2. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of ice water.
4. Submerge the turkey breast and cover with more water.
5. Cover the pot let it brine in the fridge overnight.
6. When ready to cook, preheat your Traeger, then set it to 325 degrees F.
7. Rub softened butter underneath the turkey skin.
8. Season the entire bird with Traeger Pork and Poultry Shake.
9. Create a turkey glaze by boiling 2 cups of apple cider until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes, then whisk in about a ½ cup butter and cool completely.
10. Begin cooking the turkey on the grill. After 20 minutes, brush the turkey with the cider glaze. Continue to cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature in 165 degrees F.
