Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2-pound boneless turkey breast half with untorn skin
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
10 fresh basil leaves
Olive or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • If using charcoal grill, place drip pan directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Loosen skin on turkey in 4 or 5 places. Carefully place lemon slices and basil leaves under skin. Rub turkey skin with oil; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey.
  • Cover and grill turkey, skin side down, over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill and 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 20 minutes; turn. Cover and grill 35 to 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 170°F and juice of turkey is clear when center is cut.
  • Remove turkey from grill; cover with foil tent and let stand 10 minutes. Slice turkey.
