Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
One 5- to 6-pound bone-in, whole turkey breast

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for indirect cooking at about 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the paprika, chipotle powder, celery salt, coriander, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the turkey breast, getting some under the skin as well.
  • Grill the turkey over indirect heat, rotating once halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle (do not touch bone) registers 165 degrees, about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey breast: Look for a turkey breast that is about 3 pounds and has a thick layer of fat. This will help the turkey stay moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Make sure the turkey is thawed: If the turkey is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours before grilling.
  • Prepare the marinade: The marinade is what will give the turkey its flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar. This will help to tenderize the turkey.
  • Marinate the turkey for at least 4 hours: The longer you marinate the turkey, the more flavor it will have. You can marinate the turkey for up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the grill: Before you start grilling the turkey, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the turkey and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the turkey: Grill the turkey over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the turkey.

Conclusion:

Grilled chipotle turkey breast is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be grilled on a gas or charcoal grill. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grilled chipotle turkey breast is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Enjoy!
