Grilled Chili Sauced Turkey Breast Recipes

GRILLED CHILE-LIME TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Blend ancho chiles, pasilla chiles, cumin, onion, salt, and pepper together using a spice or coffee grinder into a fine powder. Pour spice blend into a bowl and stir in brown sugar.
• Squeeze lime juice over turkey and rub with spice blend. Let marinate for about 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Reduce grill temperature to medium. Remove turkey from marinade, reserve any excess for basting. Sear turkey breast on the preheated grill, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Turn 1/2 of the grill burners off. Roast breast on the grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn turkey over and baste with reserved marinade; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CHILI-SAUCED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill.
• Mix margarine, 3 tablespoons chili sauce and the Worcestershire sauce. Loosen skin on turkey in 4 or 5 places. Carefully spoon chili sauce mixture evenly under skin. Rub turkey skin with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey.
• Cover and grill turkey, skin side down, 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 20 minutes; turn. Cover and grill 35 to 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 170°F and juice of turkey is no longer pink when center is cut.

GRILLED CHILE-CITRUS TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Toast chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and pliable, about 5 minutes. Remove seeds and ribs. Place chiles in a small bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer chiles to a blender. Add orange and lime juices, garlic, onion, and salt; blend until smooth. Transfer 3/4 cup sauce to a bowl and refrigerate, covered.
• Rub turkey with remaining cup sauce. Transfer to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours (up to 12 hours).
• Preheat grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Remove turkey from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Grill, covered, over indirect heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165°F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (Alternatively, roast in a 400°F oven for about 1 hour 20 minutes.) Transfer to a cutting board; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with warm tortillas and reserved sauce.
