Prepare a rub with 1/4 cup coarse kosher salt, 1/4 cup coarse ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons sweet paprika, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon freeze-dried minced garlic, 1 tablespoon freeze-dried minced onion, and 2 teaspoons celery seed.

Coat the turkey breast with avocado oil to help the seasoning stick and prevent drying out.

Season the turkey breast liberally with the prepared rub.

Preheat the smoker to 275°F (135°C) using cherry pellets and post oak wood chunks.

Place the seasoned turkey breast on the upper rack of the smoker.

Smoke the turkey breast for about 3 hours, checking the temperature periodically and spraying with oil to prevent drying out.

Remove the turkey breast when the internal temperature is between 155°F and 160°F, then tent with oil to finish cooking.
