Marinated Turkey Breasts
Double-down on your turkey with this variation on traditional roast turkey, and a unique wine pairing. Turkey Flat Vineyards 2008 Rose (no joke) is a light, crisp, blend from the Barossa Valley in South Australia which would compliment this flavorful marinade. (Just $14.99 at Cool Springs Wine & Spirits).
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (3 pound) boneless turkey breast halves
6 whole cloves
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
1. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, basil, and pepper. Rub over the turkey breasts. Insert one clove into each end of the turkey breasts, and one in the center.
2. In a large shallow dish, blend vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Place the breasts in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
3. Preheat grill for high heat.
4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, place turkey breasts on the grill. Close the lid, and grill turkey breasts about 15 minutes on each side, or to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (68 degrees C).
