Steps:
- Dissolve the salt and sugar in 2 gallons cold water in a large (at least 16 quart) stockpot or a clean bucket. (You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or bay leaf, or aromatics like onions and garlic.) Add the turkey, cover and refrigerate, or set in a very cold place (that stays somewhere between 32 to 40 degrees F) for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the brine 1 hour before grilling. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry to remove the salt.
- Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect grilling. The temperature inside the grill should be 350 degrees F.
- Place the turkey on the grill, cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 175 degrees F, 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 1/2 hours. Let the turkey rest 1 hour before carving.
FOOLPROOF GRILLED TURKEY BREAST WITH BUTTER AND HERBS
Provided by Marie
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- BUTTER AND HERB MIXTURE
- In a bowl add the softened butter, garlic, all the herbs, salt and pepper, mix well together adding more herbs if you so desire.
- PREPARING THE TURKEY BREAST
- Take out turkey breast from fridge, wash and pat very dry, let it sit out for an hour before prepping it so it's not ice cold.
- Salt and pepper the whole bird, gently loosening the skin by sliding your fingers until you reach the end of the breast, be very careful not to tear the skin.
- Take some heavy duty foil and scrunch it into a ball and position it in the cavity of the turkey to give it stability in the pan so it doesn't fall over, this will keep it straight and upright.
- Slightly melt your butter mixture and brush it all over and under the breast lifting up the skin where you loosened it and slathering it all over.
- For a gas grill we keep the temperature heated to around 350 F. consistently, so that will require some constant checking to make sure it's in the zone more or less as close as you can.
- Place the doubled pan onto the grill no cover required because you'll be shutting the lid of the grill.
- Pour some chicken or turkey stock right into the bottom of the pan about ¼ inch deep, which you'll be checking every 20 minutes so as to not dry out, you want to maintain that ¼ inch dept.
- All burners are on because the turkey breast is in a pan and not directly touching the grill.
- The turkey is done when it reaches 165 F. in the thickest part of the breast meat using a meat thermometer.
- Start checking after 50 minutes depending on size of turkey and your outdoor grill.
- When it done remove from grill, tent with foil and let it rest at least ½ hour more more like an hour for easy and smooth slicing.
- If you can get yourself an electric knife it's life changing!
- Don't forget to have your make ahead gravy ready and warmed.
- Save the drippings from the pan for extra gravy the next day or to make soup from the carcass.
- I used a gas grill here but same method would work for charcoal grill as well.

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.
