Grilled Jerk Turkey image

Moist and seasoned with ginger, Caribbean jerk spices and jalapeno pepper, this simple grilled entrée is more tangy than hot and spicy. It's wonderful for backyard barbecues. Diane Halferty - Corpus Christi, Texas

I served the jerk turkey with rice and beans, and it was a perfect meal. I would definitely make this again.

I grilled the jerk turkey instead of roasting it, and it was still very good. I think grilling gives it a nice smoky flavor.

I used a store-bought jerk marinade, and the jerk turkey still turned out delicious. I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade marinade.

I was a little worried that the turkey would be dry, but it turned out perfectly moist. I think the key is to not overcook it.
