Sandy Brook Grill-Roasted Turkey Breast

Harry White sent me this recipe for a grill roasted turkey breast that is both simple and flavorful. The secret is to keep the temperature low enough to allow the inside to get cooked before the surface dries out.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds boneless turkey breast, string-trussed
• 2 tablespoons butter, cold
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

Preheat grill. Cut butter into (8) 1/4" wide slivers 1" long. Make 8 1/2" slits in top skin and slip butter into slits. Push any extra butter into the folds created when the breast is wrapped. Salt and pepper all over. Cook for 5 minutes at high heat, then to medium heat. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees. Remove and let cool 20 minutes before carving. If you need drippings for gravy, set a drip pan on bars or bricks under the rack, and remove it after the 1st 30 minutes (or else it will burn off).
