GRILLED BONELESS TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients and preheat the grill.
• Cut butter into 8 quarter-inch wide slivers measuring an inch long. Push any extra butter into the folds created when the breast is wrapped. Salt and pepper all over.
• Make 8 half-inch slits in the top skin of the turkey breasts and slip butter into slits.
• Cook for 5 minutes at high heat, then adjust grill to medium heat. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 165 F/74 C, about 25 minutes.
• Remove and let cool 20 minutes before carving. If you need drippings for gravy, set a drip pan on bars or bricks under the rack, and remove it after the first 30 minutes or else it will burn off.
• Serve and enjoy.

MARINATED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, basil, and pepper. Rub over the turkey breasts. Insert one clove into each end of the turkey breasts, and one in the center.
• In a large shallow dish, blend vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Place the breasts in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, place turkey breasts on the grill. Close the lid, and grill turkey breasts about 15 minutes on each side, or to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (68 degrees C).

GRILLED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Soak wood chips in enough water to cover for about 30 minutes. Drain. Place about 1 cup of wood chips in center of each of 2 sheets of aluminum foil. Fold tightly to make 2 packets. Poke several holes with fork on both sides of packets to allow smoke to escape. Set aside.
• Prepare grill for indirect medium heat (350°F to 375°F). Preheat grill by turning all burners to medium.
• Mix butter, garlic, paprika, thyme, sage and salt in small bowl until well blended. Rub 1/2 of the mixture under skin of turkey. Rub remaining mixture over entire surface of turkey.
• Turn off burner(s) on one side of grill. Place foil packets directly on grill rack over lit burner.
• Place turkey, breast side up, directly on unlit side of grill. Close lid. Grill about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from grill. Let stand 20 minutes. Transfer turkey to platter or carving board to slice.
