Grilled Herbed Turkey Breast

If weather allows, this is a delicious experiment that Roger tried.  He comments that he thinks the white meat is even better than when cooked in the oven.

• 1  cup white wine or chicken broth
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/3 cup chopped green onion
• 1   tablespoon finely chopped garlic
• 2   teaspoons sugar
• 1   teaspoon salt
• 1   teaspoon black pepper
• 1 - 4-to-5 lb turkey breast

METHOD

Prepare grill.

Combine all ingredients except for turkey breast.  Whisk together to combine well.

Pour marinade into a large plastic bag along with turkey breast.

Tightly seal bag and refrigerate for up to 3 hours turning bag over every 20 minutes to ensure even marinating.

Remove from bag saving marinade for basting. Place turkey on grill above drip pan with coals around pan or behind pan.  Cook turkey for 2 to 21/2 hours or until internal temperature is 180°

Serves: 4 to 6
