Spiced Grilled Turkey Breast
INGREDIENTS: Brined Turkey 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup kosher salt 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons ground ginger 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Water 1 whole boneless turkey breast (about 4 pounds), skin removed and breast cut in half 4 garlic cloves, crushed with side of chef's knife Honey Glaze 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar Peach Salsa: 3 pounds ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice 1 green onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 small hot red pepper such as cayenne, seeded and minced 1/2 teaspoon salt Whole green onions for garnish DIRECTIONS: 1. Prepare Brined Turkey: In 2-quart saucepan, heat sugar, salt, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and 1 cup water to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in 3 cups ice water. 2. Place turkey breast in large self-sealing plastic bag; add brine and garlic. Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Place bag in bowl and refrigerate breast 24 hours, turning over occasionally. 3. Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat. 4. While grill heats, prepare Honey Glaze: In small bowl, stir all glaze ingredients until blended; set aside. 5. Remove turkey from bag; discard brine and garlic. With paper towels, pat turkey dry and brush off most of peppercorns. With long-handled basting brush, oil grill rack. Place turkey on hot rack. Cover grill and cook turkey 20 minutes, turning over once. Brush turkey with glaze and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer (depending on thickness of breast), brushing and turning frequently, until temperature on meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast reaches 165F. (Internal temperature will rise 5F upon standing.) Place turkey on cutting board and let rest 10 minutes to set juices for easier slicing. 6. While turkey rests, prepare Peach Salsa: In medium bowl, stir all salsa ingredients until mixed. Makes about 4 cups. 7. Serve turkey hot, or cover and refrigerate to serve cold. Arrange sliced turkey and salsa on platter; garnish with whole green onions. Serves 12.
