MARINATED TURKEY BREAST
This recipe came from my mother. These always turn out juicy and tender no matter how long my husband leaves them on the grill! Easy to prepare, but it's always best when marinated for at least 4 hours.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, basil, and pepper. Rub over the turkey breasts. Insert one clove into each end of the turkey breasts, and one in the center.
- In a large shallow dish, blend vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Place the breasts in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
- Preheat grill for high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, place turkey breasts on the grill. Close the lid, and grill turkey breasts about 15 minutes on each side, or to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (68 degrees C).

FRIED TURKEY BREAST
Steps:
- One hour before frying, place the turkey breast on a baking sheet, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and let sit at room temperature.
- To figure out how much oil you will need for frying, put the breast in a large pot and cover with water by 3 inches; the pot should be large enough that the water comes no more than halfway up the sides. Remove the breast and check the water level -- that is how much oil you will need.
- Dry the pot and add the oil. Heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
- Pat the breast dry with paper towels. Using heat-resistant gloves (to protect yourself from burns), SLOWLY and CAREFULLY lower it into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with a bit more salt. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

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.
MARINATED TURKEY BREAST
Steps:
- Prepare the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large bowl or a plastic Ziplock bag. Add the turkey breast and make sure that every part is covered with the marinade. If using a Ziplock bag, expel as much air as possible before sealing it. Marinate in a fridge for 12-24 hours. If marinating is not an option, roast the breast immediately and serve with those delicious pan juices - it will still be awesome.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Place the turkey breast into a deep baking dish and pour in the marinade. It's best to use a baking dish that is not too big otherwise too much liquid will evaporate. Bake uncovered on middle rack for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on size, until the internal temperature of the meat in the thickest part reaches 160F - the temperature will rise to 165F during resting (see Notes). Baste the top and the sides of the breast with pan juices about every 20 minutes - this will prevent the top from drying out and will help with browning.
- If toward the end of baking the skin did not brown enough, turn on the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes. Do this before the internal temperature reaches 160F. I normally do it at about 150F internal. Monitor broiling process very closely as the skin can go from a nice deep-golden brown to charred pretty quickly.
- Remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving. I find that it's best to transfer the breast to a serving platter immediately upon removing from the oven. If left to rest in the hot baking dish, the internal temperature will rise too much and meat will lose more moisture.
- Carve the meat, place on a serving platter and garnish with fresh rosemary twigs. Serve with the pan juices (don't forget to discard the cooked rosemary twigs), they are out-of-this-world delicious.

FRANNY'S MARINATED TURKEY BREAST WITH CORIANDER-LIME SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut the meat off the bone and remove the skin. Combine the marinade ingredients, and stir to blend well. Add the halved turkey breast, turning both pieces to coat well on both sides. Cover, and marinade in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. To make the coriander lime sauce, place all the ingredients except the peanut oil in droplets until the mixture is thick, then add the rest of the oil in a thin stream. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more lime juice. Preheat broiler for 10 minutes. Transfer the turkey to a shallow roasting pan. Broil 2 inches from the heat source for about 10 minutes, or until nicely brown. Pour the marinade over the turkey breast, lower oven temp to only 375, then place in the oven, and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Remove from the over, and cool for 10 minutes to settle the juices. Slice the turkey and arrange the pieces on a platter and garnish with parsley. Serve the sauce on the side.
LEMON-HERB TURKEY BREAST
The first time I tried this recipe, and told my kids I'd prepared the turkey differently, they threw a fit...until they tasted it. Now they make it in their own homes. The marinade makes the turkey moist and flavorful. Using a turkey breast is a nice change from preparing a whole turkey.

TURKEY WITH LIME BUTTER SAUCE
When I'm in Florida, I buy Key limes for the butter sauce, but any fresh limes work just fine. If I'm using leftover turkey, I brown the meat a little so the sauce picks up the flavor. -Patricia Kile, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

- Marinate the turkey breast for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
- When cooking the turkey breast, be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the turkey from becoming dry or overcooked.
- Let the turkey breast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
- Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, or roasted vegetables.
