Instead of the usual outdoor barbecue, treat your guests to a sit-down dinner featuring this delicious grilled entree with a luscious herb and citrus gravy. I comes from our Test Kitchen. Ingredients:
1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds) |
1/4 cup fresh parsley sprigs |
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves |
3 tablespoons butter |
4 garlic cloves, halved |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced |
1 medium orange, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
2 tablespoons water |
1 cup orange juice |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Using fingers, carefully loosen the skin from both sides of turkey breast. In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, basil, butter, garlic and salt; cover and process until smooth. Spread under turkey skin; arrange lemon and orange slices over herb mixture. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks.
2. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
3. Place turkey over drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a measuring cup; skim fat. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the orange juice, orange peel, lemon peel, pepper and pan drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard the skin, lemon and orange slices from turkey breast. Remove herb mixture from turkey; stir into gravy. Slice turkey and serve with gravy. Yield: 10-12 servings.
