Method
1. Place turkey breast in deep glass dish. In a medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients together very well. 2. Pour marinade over turkey and refrigerate for at least 3 – 6 hours, spooning marinade over meat every 2 hours. Bring turkey breast to room temperature before grilling. Discard the marinade.
3. Heat greased grill to medium high heat and grill turkey breast for about 7-8 minutes each side. To ensure cooked, tender meat, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part and it should read 165*F. Remove turkey breast from grill, cover with foil and let stand 15 minutes. This is so all of the juices can be distributed, ensuring tender, delicious turkey. Thinly slice the turkey against the grain and set aside.
