Steps

  1. Remove the skin from the turkey breast and coat with hot sauce as a binder. Season generously with Cajun Honey Rub and 16-mesh black pepper.
  2. Preheat your smoker to 275°F using Bear Mountain BBQ Holiday Turkey Pellets. Smoke the turkey breast until it reaches approximately 160°F internally, then remove and rest. Verify it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
  3. Heat duck fat in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, celery, and carrots, sautéing until softened.
  4. Add the chopped tomato, sliced andouille sausage, and Cajun Honey Rub. Cook for approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the stock and heavy cream, then add the smoked turkey breast cut into bite-sized chunks. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 1 hour.
  7. Remove from the heat and let rest for 30 minutes before serving.
