GRILLED HERBED TURKEY BREAST
INGREDIENTS:
2.5 Lb. turkey breast – 2.75 Lb. if bone is present
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
3 tblsp. Fresh chopped fresh sage leaves
1.5 tblsp. Fresh chopped rosemary leaves
5 tsp. Minced garlic
2 tblsp. Extra virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS:
1. Remove skin from turkey breast and discard. Cut the turkey breast away from the bone
into two equal-sized fillets.
2. Start pre-heating your grill on high (indoor or outdoor). Meanwhile, combine herb rub
ingredients – parsley, sage, rosemary, garlic and olive oil – in a processor bowl by
pulsing for about 10 seconds.
3. Use your hand or spatula to spread the herb rub on both sides of each fillet. When grill
is ready, cook about 14 minutes (on each side if outdoor). Test the thickest part of the
turkey fillet to ensure that it is completely cooked. You can collect drippings and grill
scrapings to make a gravy.
4. Remove turkey fillets to a serving platter and let them rest 5 minutes before serving.
