Teach to Lead is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Education and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to advance student outcomes by expanding opportunities for teacher leadership, particularly those that allow teachers to stay in the classroom. The initiative seeks to:
1 If the internal temperature is low after 3Â½ hours, take your turkey off the smoker and finish it in the oven. 2  Cook the turkey to internal temperatures of 175Â° F to 180Â° F in the thigh and 165Â° F in the breast. 3  Your turkey may take up to 12 hours to cook.
If you don't have one, get yourself a meat thermometer before you smoke your next turkey breast. This is crucial, the reason most smoked turkeys that don't turn out right is they are overcooked. Overcooked turkey is dry and has less flavor. Maintain a temperature of 225-250 degrees throughout the smoking session.fter an hour in the smoker, I place a sheet of aluminum foil over the turkey breast. This shields the meat from some of the smoke and prevents it from being overpowered with smoke flavor. Don't wrap the breast with the foil, kind of make a loose tent over it. 3.
