Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup whole-grain mustard (recommended: Maille)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (4 1/2 to 5-pound) turkey breast, on the bone, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
10 cipollini onions
3 medium carrots, peeled, and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, garlic, cumin, oregano, allspice, chili powder, brown sugar and oil. Place the turkey breast in a 9 by13-inch roasting pan. Spread the mustard mixture over the top and sides of the turkey to form a crust. Add the onions, carrots, and chicken stock to the pan. Roast for 45 minutes. Cover the pan loosely with foil and continue to bake for another 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 175 degrees F. Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Remove the vegetables and arrange on a serving platter. Remove the turkey and place on a cutting board. Pour about 1/2 cup of the pan juices into a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Whisk in the remaining pan juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper and pour into a serving pitcher.
  • To serve, slice the turkey into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the turkey slices on the serving platter with the roasted vegetables and serve with the pan juices.

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest and juice of 1 lime
One 2 1/2- to 4-pound boneless turkey breast
2 teaspoons kosher salt (increase to 3 if using a bigger turkey breast)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for oiling the skin

Thinly sliced red onion, for topping
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 cups canned crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (remove the ribs and seeds for a milder marmalade)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the turkey and marinade: Combine the pineapple, Worcestershire, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, orange zest and juice and lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Add the turkey breast, toss to coat and cover tightly with plastic wrap. (Or pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag with the turkey breast.) Marinate, refrigerated, for 3 to 4 hours.
  • For the rub: Combine the salt, oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and some black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the turkey from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the turkey all over with the rub, then lightly oil the skin.
  • Place the turkey skin-side down on the grill. Cook until the skin begins to lightly char and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip the turkey, then cover the grill and cook until the turkey registers 165 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes more. Loosely tent the turkey with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • For serving: Serve the sliced turkey on buns with the Sweet-and-Sour Pineapple Marmalade and sliced red onion.
  • Whisk the orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the pineapple, red onion and jalapeno. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, 15 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.

SPICED & GRILLED TURKEY



Spiced & Grilled Turkey image

My fiance loves to grill, so for the holidays we decided to grill our turkey instead of deep frying it. It was the best we'd ever tasted! Having the brine in the pan under the turkey catches the drippings, but also keeps everything nice and moist. Start with the breast down, then flip to the other side. -Sydney Botelho, Columbia, South Carolina

Tips:

  • Brine the turkey breast: Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey breast, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of cold water. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine solution for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the turkey breast, but it also helps to tenderize it. This recipe uses a marinade made with chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, olive oil, garlic, and spices.
  • Grill the turkey breast over indirect heat: Indirect heat helps to cook the turkey breast evenly without drying it out. To grill the turkey breast over indirect heat, set up your grill for two-zone cooking. Place the turkey breast on the side of the grill that is not directly over the heat.
  • Baste the turkey breast frequently: Basting the turkey breast with the marinade or melted butter helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the turkey breast every 20-30 minutes during grilling.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: The turkey breast is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast to check the temperature.

Conclusion:

Chipotle-spiced grilled turkey breast is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the turkey breast with a smoky, spicy flavor, and the grilling process creates a crispy, juicy exterior. Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
