Smoked in the smoker with apple wood brickets.
Deep fried in Peanut oil with a cajun rub on top.

How is the best way to go about this? what is the recommended cooking time for this way?

Any suggestions/tips would be very helpful.
Not certain on how this works with just the 'breast' of a turkey... but have had fun at least watching turkeys deep fried for years... but beware of the peanut oil- very flammable as our deck has discovered

Do inject your turkey well with marinade prior to the deep fry... helps preserve & infuse flavor... garlic is always nice!

Upon completion... a doubled paper bag is a good place to let it rest, allowing it to stay warm and let some excess oil flow off-

Enjoy!
