Grilled Chile-Citrus Turkey Breast
- 12 dried cascabel chiles (about 2 ounces) or 5 ancho chiles (dried poblanos)
- Juice of 2 oranges
- Juice of 1 lime
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 bone-in turkey breast (4 to 6 pounds)
- 24 corn tortillas (6 inches each), warmed for serving
- Toast chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and pliable, about 5 minutes.

- Place chiles in a small bowl, and cover with boiling water.
- Let stand 15 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer chiles to a blender.
- Add orange and lime juices, garlic, onion, and salt; blend until smooth.

- Rub turkey with remaining cup sauce.
- Transfer to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours (up to 12 hours).

- Remove turkey from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Grill, covered, over indirect heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
