Grilled Turkey Breast

Post by FullChoke »

GRILLED TURKEY BREAST

Components:
1 side of a wild turkey breast
Saran Wrap
Cajun Injector Marinade
Tony Chachere's Cajun spice
Honey
Thick cut bacon strips
Heavy wooden toothpicks

Take one breast from a gobbler and wrap it tightly in Saran wrap. Inject the breast thoroughly right through the Saran Wrap with your favorite marinade, mine is the Creole Garlic flavor. Place breast on a plate and set it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours.

Take the meat out of the refrigerator. Start your barbecue grill to bring it up to temperature or to allow the charcoal to lightly ash over. Plan on a medium high grill.

Remove the wrap from the meat, cut the breast in half and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle all surfaces of the meat very well with the Cajun Spice. Lay out the bacon strips tight against each other on a cutting board or cookie sheet, placing the breast on them to judge for number of strips needed. Cover both sides of a breast with a thick coat of honey, spreading evenly over the entire breast and quickly wrap the breast/honey with the bacon, pinning the ends of the bacon with the toothpicks on the sides of the breast. Give the bacon a shake of the Cajun spice as well. Repeat the process with the other breast. Place the beasts on a cookie sheet and put in the refrigerator until the grill is ready.

Place the 2 breast pieces on the grill at medium high heat. Throw some ears of sweet corn on the grill around the two breast pieces, close the lid with the vents open and cook approximately 11 minutes then turn the meat and the corn over on the rack. Any juice that has run off of the meat into the cookie sheet can be added to the cooked surface as a baste at this time. close the lid and make a crisp salad.

Once the meat has cooked for an additional 11 minutes, take the two pieces off of the grill, place on a serving platter and cover it with aluminum foil to allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. Place it in a warm location of the kitchen.

Serve the turkey with the grilled corn on the cob with an herbed butter, green salad, cold sweet tea and homemade bread and butter pickles.

Enjoy. :D :king:

Norman, this sounds really really good. I may have to try this, but my try going the smoker route with it instead of over a direct heat on the grill. Should be tasty either way!!
