If you’re craving bold, smoky flavor without committing to a whole bird, this Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast is the perfect backyard barbecue upgrade. Using a boneless, skinless turkey breast means quicker smoking and juicier results, while a simple seasoning of sea salt, black pepper, and a brush of oil lays the foundation for that irresistible mesquite flavor.
