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.

Instead of the usual outdoor barbecue, treat your guests to a sit-down dinner featuring this delicious grilled entree with a luscious herb and citrus gravy. Recipe comes from the test kitchen of Light and Tasty Magazine. Could substitute several chicken breasts with skin, but would need to cut back on grilling/cooking time. Recipes states that a serving is 4 ounces cooked turkey with 3 tablespoons gravy equals 192 calories and for diabetic exchanges = 5 very lean meat and 1/2 fruit.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey breast: Look for a turkey breast that is between 4 and 6 pounds and has a thick layer of skin. You can also use a boneless, skinless turkey breast, but it will be less flavorful.
- Brine the turkey breast: Brining helps to keep the turkey breast moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey breast, dissolve 1 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
- Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
- Season the turkey breast: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Season the turkey breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also brush the turkey breast with olive oil or melted butter.
- Grill the turkey breast: Place the turkey breast on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a charcoal grill, you may need to adjust the cooking time to prevent the turkey breast from burning.
- Let the turkey breast rest: Remove the turkey breast from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Citrus grilled turkey breast is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey breast turns out perfectly cooked and juicy. Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
