Share recipe
Description
A succulent, juicy grilled turkey breast with great zesty ancho flavor and crispy skin.
Ingredients
- 2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 2 dried pasilla chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 (5 pound) boneless turkey breast
Directions
- 1. Blend ancho chiles, pasilla chiles, cumin, onion, salt, and pepper together using a spice or coffee grinder into a fine powder. Pour spice blend into a bowl and stir in brown sugar.
- 2. Squeeze lime juice over turkey and rub with spice blend. Let marinate for about 1 hour.
- 3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- 4. Reduce grill temperature to medium. Remove turkey from marinade, reserve any excess for basting. Sear turkey breast on the preheated grill, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- 5. Turn 1/2 of the grill burners off. Roast breast on the grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn turkey over and baste with reserved marinade; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
