1 large turkey breast (about 1 lb/500g)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced

  • Arrange on a greased preheated grill over medium high heat. Grill, turning once, until golden and cooked all the way through, about 20 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately or serve cold.
  • Oven Directions:.
  • To prepare the turkey in the oven, arrange marinated turkey on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and roast in a 400 F (200 C) oven until turkey is cooked through and marinade is thick and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
