Ingredients

1 Bone-in turkey breast
3 tbsp Dad's Steak seasoning
3 tbsp Dad's All purpose rub
4 tbsp Unsalted butter

Cajun Honey Butter Ingredients

1 stick Unsalted butter
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Minced Garlic
1 tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Dad's Steak seasoning
1/2 tbsp Cayenne pepper

Instructions

Place the frozen turkey breast in the refrigerator 1-2 days before the cook day to defrost.
Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut off any remaining rib pieces so that the breast can lay flat.
Coat the entire turkey breast with Dad's Steak Seasoning and Dad's All Purpose rub. Season generously.
Set the seasoned turkey breast aside and let it sweat and start absorbing the seasoning.
Preheat the grill to 275 degrees and place the turkey breast side up directly on grates for indirect cooking. Feel free to add a few wood chunks for some extra smokey flavor. Smoke until the internal temp of the protein reaches 130 degrees. Total time 1.5-2 hours.
Place the smoked turkey breast of a long sheet of foil. Place 4 pats (2 tbsp) of butter on the bottom and another 4 over the top. Wrap the entire turkey breast in the aluminum foil and place it back on the grill breast side down. Cook for another hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Remove it off the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes while still in the foil.
In a sauce pan, melt butter, add honey, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and Dad's Steak Seasoning. A great substitute or replacement is Italian seasoning. Adjust the level of heat depending on your preference with the cayenne and pepper flakes.
Remove the turkey from the foil wrap, carve and serve with the cajun honey sauce.
