Ingredients
  

Turkey
  • 1 whole turkey breast about 4–5 pounds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
Vegetables
  • 2 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Smoker
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Pat the turkey breast dry. Mix olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Rub the mixture all over the turkey.
  2. Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add hardwood chips like hickory or applewood. Place the turkey breast in the smoker and cook for 3–4 hours until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
  4. Steam or blanch green beans for 5–6 minutes until crisp-tender. Toss with butter, salt, and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
  5. Slice the smoked turkey and serve alongside roasted potatoes and buttery green beans. Garnish with fresh parsley for color.
