Marinated Turkey Breast image

This recipe came from my mother. These always turn out juicy and tender no matter how long my husband leaves them on the grill! Easy to prepare, but it's always best when marinated for at least 4 hours.

1 cup canned crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest and juice of 1 lime
One 2 1/2- to 4-pound boneless turkey breast
2 teaspoons kosher salt (increase to 3 if using a bigger turkey breast)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for oiling the skin
Buns, as needed
Sweet-and-Sour Pineapple Marmalade, recipe follows
Thinly sliced red onion, for topping
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 cups canned crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (remove the ribs and seeds for a milder marmalade)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

PLUM-GLAZED TURKEY

Categories     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Orange     Sage     Grape     Parade

Number Of Ingredients 16

GIBLET BROTH
(make one day ahead):
1 large can (48 ounces) chicken broth
Giblets and neck from turkey, rinsed and dried
TURKEY
(make Thanksgiving Day):
1 turkey (about 18 pounds)
1 large orange, halved
Paprika, salt and pepper, to taste
Cranberry Fennel Stuffing
4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Plum Glaze (make one day ahead)
2 large bunches red grapes, for garnish
2 to 3 large bunches fresh sage, for garnish
GIBLET GRAVY
(make Thanksgiving Day)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the Giblet Broth one day ahead: Simmer the chicken broth, giblets and neck in a saucepan until the giblets are tender, about 1 hour. Strain the broth into a bowl; cover and refrigerate. Shred the meat from the neck and finely chop the giblets; cover and refrigerate.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare the turkey: Squeeze the orange inside the body and neck cavities; sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper. Stuff loosely with Cranberry Fennel Stuffing , using about 3 cups for the neck and 8 cups for the body. Close the turkey with lacers or sew with a large needle and heavy thread; tie legs together. Rub bird with the butter; sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper.
  • 3. Place a rack in a large roasting pan and cover with 2 long pieces of heavy-duty foil, lengthwise and crosswise. Place the turkey, breast-side up, on top of the foil. Pour 2 cups of the Giblet Broth into the pan. Close the foil loosely over the turkey. Roast for 1 1/2 hours.
  • 4. Open up the foil and roast the turkey, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes, for 2 1/2 hours. If the turkey starts to get too brown, tent it loosely with the foil.
  • 5. Raise the oven temperature to 350°F and cook the turkey for 1 more hour or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°F. The temperature in the breast should read 160°F, and the juices should run clear when the thigh is pricked with a sharp knife. During the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush the turkey with the Plum Glaze . Transfer the turkey to a platter. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes before carving. Remove the stuffing to a serving dish and cover.
  • 6. Present the turkey, garnished with the grapes and sage, before carving. Arrange the carved meat on a large, decorative platter and serve with hot Giblet Gravy.
