Planning on smoking two 5.5lb butts tomorrow. Now I've also been given a small boneless turkey breast to smoke as well. I've never smoked turkey before so I don't know anything about it.
How should I prepare the turkey? What internal temp should I take it too? Would it be ok to lightly rub the turkey with the same rub I'm using for the pork? About how long will it take to finish? It's about a 1.5-2lb boneless turkey breast?
I'm sure hickory isn't a good smoke wood for turkey, but that's what I'm using for the pork. Would that be a big deal? I know that big turkeys ned to be brined, but do I need to worry about that for this small boneless?
Sorry for all of the questinos. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using a WSM 18.5''. Hoping to get it all on the top rack since they'll finish at different times.
