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 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.

  • 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.

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

Chipotle Marinated Grilled Chicken image

This is a great, smokey, spicy marinade for chicken or firm fish. The marinade itself is very spicy, not to be used as a sauce. But the end result has just a little kick, not overpowering.

Provided by Kevin Naughton

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
kosher salt to taste
4 skinless chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Place the chipotle peppers, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, cumin, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, and olive oil into a blender. Puree until no pieces of garlic remain. Pour 1/4 of the marinade into a small dish and set aside. Rub a pinch of kosher salt into each chicken drumstick and place into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, shake, and seal. Marinade at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Once the legs are completely cooked, baste well with the remaining marinade, cover the grill, and cook and additional 2 minutes per side to glaze.
