Remove the packaging from the Butterball turkey breast and place it in a pan with a rack.

Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour to dry the skin.

Prepare a butter herb mixture by mixing 8 ounces of softened butter with 2 teaspoons each of chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage, along with 1 teaspoon each of granulated garlic and onion powder, and some black pepper.

After an hour, take the turkey breast out of the refrigerator and pull back the skin.

Spread some of the butter herb mixture underneath the skin and then coat the skin with more of the mixture.

Preheat the Weber Smoky Mountain smoker to 250°F.

Place the turkey breast on the smoker and smoke for about 2 hours, checking the internal temperature until it reaches 160-165°F.

Spray the turkey with apple juice while it smokes to keep it moist.

Once done, remove the turkey from the smoker and let it rest before slicing.
