Bar-B-Que Turkey Breast
- 1 turkey breast (3 1/2 to 5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Creole Seasoning (page 167)
- 1 cup Mutha Sauce (page 165)
- Flip the breast, skin side down, onto a cutting board.
- Take a chefs knife and carefully cut just through the breastbone, not the meat.
- Flip the breast again and flatten it out, using the heel of your hand.
- Mix up the olive oil and Creole Seasoning and smear the breast with it on all sides and even up under the skin.
- If you can, do this in the morning for evening grilling.
- Fire up the grill, putting all the charcoal to one side.
- Put the breast, skin side down, directly over the hot coals for 5 minutes to caramelize the skin.
- Flip the breast over again, rib side down, this time moving it away from the coals to cook it over indirect heat.
- Cover the grill and cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Test the internal temperature of the meat by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
- When it reads 155, slather the skin side of the breast with the Mutha Sauce.
- Close the lid and keep cooking to glaze the breast til the thermometer reads 165, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Pull the breast off the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the slices hot with some more Mutha Sauce.
- The leftovers make great sandwiches.
