Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, or prepare a grill pan if cooking indoors.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to create a marinade.
Brush the turkey breast fillets with the marinade, ensuring an even coating on both sides, and allow them to sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the turkey is resting, prepare the glaze by mixing the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the turkey fillets on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the final 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the turkey fillets with the prepared barbecue glaze. Flip the fillets a couple of times to caramelize the glaze without burning it.
Once the turkey is fully cooked and the glaze is sticky and golden, remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the glazed grilled turkey barbecue with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, coleslaw, or cornbread. Enjoy!
