Prepare the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper to create a rub.

Pat the 2-pound boneless turkey breast dry with paper towels and apply the rub evenly all over the surface.

Let the turkey breast sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Place the soaked wood chips in the smoker box.

Once the smoker is ready, place the turkey breast on the grill grate, skin side up.

Smoke the turkey breast for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Baste with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar every hour for added moisture and flavor.

Remove the turkey from the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
