Turkey Breast With Caramelized Grapefruit BBQ Sauce
Author: 
Serves: 4 to 6
 
Ingredients
  • One 2½ to 3 pound bone-in (half) turkey breast
  • Kosher salt, ¾ teaspoons per pound of turkey
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated grapefruit zest, finely chopped and packed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Caramelized Grapefruit BBQ Sauce (recipes follows)
Instructions
  1. Trim the rib bones and any excess fat away from the turkey beast. Thoroughly combine the salt, zest, garlic, and pepper then rub (sprinkle and pat) over the entire turkey breast. Place the breast in a large resealable plastic bag and place in the refrigerator for one to three days.
  2. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to take the chill off. Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (no direct heat source under turkey). Brush and oil the grates before cooking. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and place skin-side up on hot, oiled grill over a drip pan. Cover grill and roast for 1 to 1½ hours, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. If using a charcoal grill, add ten more briquettes to each pile of coals after one hour. Start glazing the turkey breast with the grapefruit BBQ sauce every 10 minutes until the breast reaches and internal temperature of 165°F; total cooking time will be 1¼ to 2 hours depending on the usual factors.  Transfer to a cutting board and loosely tent with for 10 minutes before carvings. Serve hot with extra sauce on the side.
