Barbecue Turkey Breast Recipes

A cracking brine and a glaze to boot. It’s one of the best barbecue turkey breast recipes I’ve got but be warned, the brining process is at least an overnight job and preferably 24 hours so don’t start this one if you’re planning on cooking tonight.

The brine is beautifully sweet and with the addition of a chilli and mustard has a little kick to it. We’re also going to need a half of a turkey breast.

Ingredients:-

• 50g / 2oz salt
• 50g / 2oz sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped

Method:-

Pour 225ml / half a pint of water into a saucepan (big enough for the turkey) and add the ingredients. Heat up until all the salt and sugar has dissolved then add a further 700 ml / 3 pints of water and leave to cool. When cool, bung in the turkey and leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

On the morning of the turkey barbecue it’s time to make up the glaze;

Ingredients:-

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon English (yellow) mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Method:-

On medium coals, place the turkey breast on the grill. Mix up the glaze and baste with the glaze as you turn the meat. Grill for approximately 30 minutes or until the juices run clear.

Tip - Before serving, let it stand for 5 or 10 minutes. This will just allow the juices to thicken and so keep the joint moist.

Slice and serve!
