Smoked turkey breast has a rich history dating back to Native American and early European settlers who used smoking as a preservation method. This flavorful dish gained popularity in the southern United States, particularly in regions like Texas and the Carolinas, where smoking meats is a time-honored tradition. Renowned chefs like Aaron Franklin in Texas and Rodney Scott in South Carolina have elevated the art of smoking turkey breast, infusing it with a tantalizing smoky flavor. The best versions of this dish can be found in authentic barbecue joints and smokehouses, where the meat is carefully brined, seasoned, and slow-smoked to perfection.
