Equipment

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (3 pound) turkey breast

Instructions

  • In a gallon-sized resealable bag, mix together vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, basil, and black pepper.
  • Add turkey breast to bag and let marinate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Remove turkey breast from bag and discard marinade.
  • Preheat grill to high heat.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate.
  • 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).

Notes

  • Do NOT marinate turkey for longer than 2 days as it will begin to get tough and dense from the acidity.
