Grilled Turkey Breast With Fresh Sage Leaves Recipes

GRILLED TURKEY BREAST WITH BACON, GREEN TOMATO WITH GOAT CHEESE-SAGE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Brush entire breast with oil and season well with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Place the breast on the grill, skin-side down, and grill until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat of the grill to medium, turn the breast over, close the cover of the grill and continue cooking until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the breast from the grill and let rest, loosely tented with foil, for 10 minutes. Slice the breast into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Lay the bacon, lengthwise, over the grates of the grill and grill for approximately 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crunchy. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Mix together the goat cheese, mayonnaise, and sage in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mayonnaise among 4 slices of the bread and top each with 4 slices of turkey, 2 green tomato slices, another slice of bread, 3 slices of bacon, some of the watercress, and top each with the remaining bread.

GRILLED TURKEY BREAST WITH FRESH SAGE LEAVES

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and sage leaves in a large container and place turkey breast halves into the marinade. Allow meat to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, turning turkey breasts over occasionally.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove turkey breasts from marinade and reserve the marinade and sage leaves. Sprinkle turkey on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
• Grill turkey breasts on the preheated grill until they show grill marks, the meat is no longer pink inside, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Turn turkey pieces over after 15 minutes.
• While turkey is grilling, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil with unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and bubbling. Pour reserved marinade, including sage leaves, into the oil and butter and cook, stirring often, until the marinade has evaporated and the sage leaves are crisply fried, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer grilled turkey breasts to a cutting board and season again with salt and black pepper if desired; thickly slice the turkey on the diagonal and arrange on a platter, topped by fried sage leaves and garnished with lemon halves.

GRILLED TURKEY BREAST WITH CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill until quite hot. The coals should be placed quite close to the grill because the meat will only be seared.
• Place each turkey steak between sheets of clear plastic wrap. Pound lightly and evenly with a flat mallet or meat pounder to make slices about 1/4-inch thick.
• Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with sage.
• Heat the butter until melted. Add the lemon juice, cumin, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and chives. Blend well. Keep warm.
• Place the steaks on the grill and cook on both sides for about 2 minutes to a side or until done. Do not overcook. Transfer the steaks to a serving dish. Pour the chive butter over them and serve.
