3-4 lbs bone-in turkey breast
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt and pepper

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat goals for indirect heat. Brush turkey with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

1 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried parsley flakes

Mix first 3 ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until jelly is melted. Stir in parsley.

Variation: Cranberry Glazed – Make a spice mix by mixing together 1 tbsp each: brown sugar, onion powder, pepper, paprika, celery salt and rubbing it on the turkey by lifting skin and rubbing on meat as mush as possible and then drenching it in cranberry juice concentrate. In drip pan with water, add: 2 quartered onions, red wine, heat of garlic, 3 bay leaves Follow above smoking directions but baste the turkey with the cranberry juice every 2-3 hours.

For a whole turkey, place the onion quarters inside and smoke 8-12 hours, depending on the size of the bird.
