Steps:
- MAKE THE SPICE RUB:.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, salt, ginger, and turmeric.
- MAKE THE SALSA:.

- Clean the hot grate with a wire brush; oil the grate.
- Grill the meat (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) over direct heat on the hottest part of the grill, taking care not to crowd the meat.

- Turn and continue to grill (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) until the meat is just firm to touch and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for turkey cutlets; 3 to 4 minutes for pork chops and chicken breasts, depending on their thickness. (If grilling pork, watch out for flare-ups.)
- Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.

- Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- When grilling the pork, cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the pork, or it will become dry and tough.
- Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- Serve the grilled pork with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
