Number Of Ingredients 10

1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1 (2 1/2-3 1/2 lb) boneless turkey breast
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

In a small bowl combine garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper; set aside.
For glaze, in a small saucepan stir together the orange juice and cornstarch; add half of the seasoning mixture.
Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
Cook and stir 1 minute more.
Stir in maple syrup and orange peel; set aside.
Brush the turkey roast with melted butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture.
Insert a meat thermometer near the center of the roast.
For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan.
Test for medium heat above the pan.
Place the turkey roast directly on the grill rack over the pan.
Cover; grill until thermometer registers 165°F Add coals to maintain heat every 30 minutes.
Brush with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling.
Remove meat from grill.
Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The meat's temperature will rise 5F during standing).
Bring any remaining glaze to boiling; pass with turkey. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
OR, use the oven @325 degrees until thermometer reaches 165F (should be about 1 1/2 hrs). Follow glazing and standing directions above.
