For this Meat Tip Monday, we are focusing on how to grill the perfect turkey breast. First, you want to stop by either The Meat Market or Local Source foods and pick up our deal of the week turkey breast. To learn how to grill turkey breast please follow these cooking tips:

Prepare Your Turkey Breast

First, you want to make a rub for your turkey breast by using 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 12 teaspoons of oregano, and 12 a teaspoon of cumin. Make sure to add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt if you did not brine. Next, pat the turkey breast dry and brush a small amount of oil onto the turkey breast. Then apply the mixed rub to the breast making sure to cover it completely.

Cooking Your Turkey

First, preheat your grill to 350° F – 400° F. Once the grill is preheated place the turkey breast on the grill skin-side down for about 5-8 minutes to help brown the skin. Next, flip the breast over making sure the thick side of the breast is over direct heat. Keep the lid closed and try to avoid touching it as much as possible. You will want to cook until an internal temp of 165° F is reached. This will take about 2 hours but time will vary on the size and weight of the breast. Once the breast is done cooking remove it from heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
