Step 1

Set your smoker to 265ºF.
Step 2

Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry.
Step 3

Mix together the salt and pepper and season the turkey breast.
Step 4

Release the skin on both breasts and place sage leaves under the skin.
Step 5

Make sure you have a water bath in your smoker to prevent the turkey from becoming dry. Smoke the turkey until golden brown - around 2.5 hours and a temperature reading of ~130ºF.
Step 6

At this point wrap your turkey in a double layer of foil and pour the melted butter over the breasts. Put back in the smoker until your meat thermometer reads 160ºF. This should take about another hour of cooking. Let it rest.
Step 7

For the cranberry relish, heat olive oil in a pan over a medium/high heat. Add diced red onion and pine nuts and cook until golden brown. Add chopped cranberries and celery and cook for another minute or two. Add smoked paprika, balsamic, orange juice and orange zest. Cook until liquids have reduced by half.
Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, jalapeño and season with salt and pepper. Can be served hot or cold.
