With a small family of 4, smoking a whole turkey can be a little much. So we often cook a turkey breast on the grill instead.
Preheat your grill to 325 - 350f set up for indirect heat. That should be about 40 lit briquettes divided between each side of the grill with a drip pan in the middle.
Using a meat syringe, inject the turkey in several areas with turkey injection (Use Big Oven Recipe #233052) from inside the rib cage (the back side of the breast).
Make a rub with the salt, paprika, pepper, thyme and sage. The thyme and sage should crumble easily.
Rub the breasts over and under the skin.
Place the breast on the grill over the drip pan, skin side facing up.
Grill for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the breast reaches an internal temperature of 155 to 160f. Add a half dozen or so briquettes to each side occasionally as needed to maintain the grill temperature at 325 to 350f.
Allow to rest 15 minutes before slicing.
I used Kingsford Briquettes with Hickory (green bag) to get a little smoke flavor.
