- Multiply the brine recipe as needed to make sufficient to completely submerge the turkey breast. Stir till salt and sugar are dissolved.
- Put the turkey breast in a large Ziploc bag, fill with brine, squeeze out all the air and seal; or possibly put turkey breast in a large bowl, put a small plate on top to hold it under, and fill bowl with brine. Chill for 24 to 48 hrs (no longer, or possibly the meat will be too salty).
- Remove turkey from brine, rinse, and dry. Rub lightly with veg. oil. Slow-cook in a smoke-cooker, or possibly covered barbecue using the indirect heat method, and adding water-soaked smoke chips from time to time. Place a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast and cook till it reaches 165 to 170 degrees. If skin looks dry at any point, brush with a little more oil.
- For best flavor and appearance, cold to room temperature, slice, and serve at once. Turkey can also be wrapped tightly and refrigerated; return to room temperature before serving.
