It was a rainy day in Carolina for most of the day. Figured it was a good time to do my first turkey breast today.
I used a frozen one I had in the freezer so I didn't brine it. Stuffed it with an onion, a few cloves of garlic, and an apple. Threw a few pats of butter in between the skin.
Smoked on my Masterbuilt at 250 with hickory chips. Ended going seven hours.
Turned pretty good for the first one. Was just a touch dry. Should I try wrapping it with foil or spraying with oil periodically next time?

Hi there and welcome!

If not brining the best advice I could give you is to use a temperature probe and pull the breast when it hits 165F.  It should be plenty juicy at that point.  Best of luck :)
