GRILLED TURKEY BREAST WITH BACON, GREEN TOMATO WITH GOAT CHEESE-SAGE MAYONNAISE



Grilled Turkey Breast with Bacon, Green Tomato with Goat Cheese-Sage Mayonnaise image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h4m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 turkey breast, bone in, about 4 pounds
Olive oil
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
12 slices bacon, cut 1/2-inch thick
4 ounces soft goat cheese
4 ounces prepared mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
12 (1-inch) thick slices country white bread, grilled
2 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
Watercress

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high. Brush entire breast with oil and season well with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Place the breast on the grill, skin-side down, and grill until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat of the grill to medium, turn the breast over, close the cover of the grill and continue cooking until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the breast from the grill and let rest, loosely tented with foil, for 10 minutes. Slice the breast into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Lay the bacon, lengthwise, over the grates of the grill and grill for approximately 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crunchy. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Mix together the goat cheese, mayonnaise, and sage in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mayonnaise among 4 slices of the bread and top each with 4 slices of turkey, 2 green tomato slices, another slice of bread, 3 slices of bacon, some of the watercress, and top each with the remaining bread.

Grilled Turkey Breast With Chive Butter image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 turkey breast steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat a charcoal grill until quite hot. The coals should be placed quite close to the grill because the meat will only be seared.
  • Place each turkey steak between sheets of clear plastic wrap. Pound lightly and evenly with a flat mallet or meat pounder to make slices about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with sage.
  • Heat the butter until melted. Add the lemon juice, cumin, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and chives. Blend well. Keep warm.
  • Place the steaks on the grill and cook on both sides for about 2 minutes to a side or until done. Do not overcook. Transfer the steaks to a serving dish. Pour the chive butter over them and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. This will help to create a delicious crust on the turkey breast and prevent it from sticking.
  • Sear the turkey breast over high heat for a few minutes. This will help to lock in the juices and create a golden brown color.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the turkey breast for about 30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important not to overcook the turkey breast, or it will become dry.
  • While the turkey breast is cooking, make a simple pan sauce by deglazing the skillet with white wine and chicken broth. Add some fresh sage leaves and butter for extra flavor.
  • Serve the turkey breast with the pan sauce, roasted vegetables, and mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Grilled turkey breast with fresh sage leaves is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your turkey breast is cooked to perfection and that the pan sauce is flavorful and delicious.
