Last night's supper.

That looks delicious!

I've never tried "coffee rubbed". I love both coffee and turkey just not sure about the combination.

What does the coffee rub do for flavor!?

And it does look delicious!

Never coffee rubbed, but we marinade with it all the time.

It doesn't really taste like coffee. The coffee gives the meat more of a smoky flavor.

Here is the recipe.
Coffee rubbed turkey Breast

1/2 Wild turkey breast cut into 1 1/2”X1 1/2”X2” pieces.
1 Pound cheap bacon
About 15 round toothpicks
4 TBS ground coffee
2 TBS paprika
2 TBS light brown sugar
2 TBS ground mustard
2 TSP granulated garlic
2 TSP course sea salt
1 TBS ground black pepper
Mix all rub ingredients in a plastic bowl with a tight fitting lid. Use the back of a spoon to crush lumps of brown sugar and make sure the rub is mixed well. Set aside.
Break the toothpicks in half and cut the bacon strips in half. Wrap each breast with a half strip, secure with a half toothpick.
Place breasts pieces into the rub bowl in batches and toss to coat. Repeat until all are coated with the rub. Place on grill over medium coals, cover grill and cook for about 20 minutes. Turn and cook for about another 20 minutes, depending on your grill. Do not overcook. Let rest a few minutes and enjoy.

That's how I would explain it. Kind of a smokey/nutty flavor. We use it on squirrel, geese, and venison too. It is definitely worth trying. It gives wild game a very nice finish.

looks great,,,gonna have to try that

Looks delicious and probably one of the best recipes for grilled wild turkey.
Since I'm not a fan of "Blackened", I believe I'll stick to my garlic & creole butter injected turkey breasts and baked in a cookin' bag

That does look good, I would try that
