I'm sure this has been covered, but I've yet to find it.... What is the best way to smoke a stand alone turkey breast?

Welcome to the Forum Garrison. There is no single best way to cook that. But check under Poultry Archives....second page.... lots of help under "turkey breasts".
I like to rub them with mayo & CD Chicken Rub. Cook at 225* with 1 oz of apply to ain internal temp of 160*.
As soon as I get done one, it is gone and I have to cook another!

I'm like Tom, I brine and do it just like he said.
Did a search on "turkey breast" in "all open forums" and got 101 results. Some interesting reading and variations. Some don't brine, some inject. Different methods all around.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and for sharing your ideas! Decisions, decisions�
I'm about to cook my first breasts also. I've read a bunch of posts and see that some flip the birds half-way through and some don't. What are the pros and cons of this??? Thanks!
Kully,
The "flip" is usually mentioned for a whole bird. Since you're cooking a breast only, you don't need to flip unless you want to. You can flip if you want to, just for even smoking, some do, some don't.
