Here's the wild turkey I shot Monday morning & want to smoke one of the breasts. Never done one b4, so I need some do's & don'ts. The breast is skinless & each one weighs about 2-3 lbs. I'll be using an electric Smoke Hollow smoker. Thanks all in advance.

That's a good looking bird. I usually cook my wild turkey in a stew or soup but the guys I know that smoke or roast them always wrap them in bacon to make up for the lack of skin. I would say follow a good turkey breast recipe but add bacon and you should be good to go.
