CREOLE-SPICED GRILLED JERK TURKEY BREAST

Category: Poultry I

2 1/2 pounds boneless turkey breast, skin-on
4 tsp dry jerk spice
1/2 tbsp Creole spice
3 tbsp wet jerk spice
2 tbsp olive oil

Rub the turkey breast with the dry jerk spice and the Creole spice. Then rub the wet jerk spice into the turkey breast and place it in a Ziploc bag, allowing it to marinate for two hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350 or a medium heat on your grill. Drizzle the turkey breast with the olive oil, and place on grill or in oven skin-side down, covered. Cook for 12 minutes, then turn turkey breast over, and cook, covered, for 30 minutes or until cooking thermometer reads 160 degrees. When finished, let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Note: Creating cross-hatch on the grills: allow the turkey to cook for 7 minutes on the first side. Then give it a one-quarter turn and allow it to cook another 5 minutes before cooking on second side. Serves 4
