Barbecued Indian Spice Turkey

Ingredients

Directions

Trim halved turkey breast slices of all fat and skin. Butterfly meat by using a sharp knife, starting in center of one long side and cutting in half to within 1/2" of second long side; open meat like a book (using partially frozen turkey makes this process easier). Set meat flat on a platter.

Mix together yogurt, chili, cumin, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub mixture over turkey, cover, and chill overnight (or at least 2 hours).

Prepare barbecue. Grill meat 4 inches from heat source until cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut diagonally into slices. Serve with a rice salad.

Reviews

This recipe did not work well for me. All of the yogurt coating dripped off into the grill or was burned off during the cooking. In the end, I just ended up with plain grilled turkey. My family all seasoned it with seasoning salt to give it some flavor. Was I supposed to save some of the rub mixture to apply late in the grilling process? Also, the grilling took much longer than the 8-12 minutes for portions of the cut. In particular, the "seam" at the end of the butterfly cut took a long time to finish. Another dinner only resulting in my wife being mad at me... 9 months ago by john.bunnell

Though it needs much time to prepare, the flavour of the spicy turkey is great, with all the mixing ingredients! about 1 year ago by vegemary
