Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I LOVE eating and I love all the flavors and types of food served on that holiday. Sadly, some of those foods aren’t healthy or good for you. So, between now and next Thursday, I will post a few recipes that you can try out this holiday season and still maintain your Paleo lifestyle. Bon Appetit!
Citrus Grilled Turkey Breast
1 (5- to 6-lb.) skin-on, bone-in turkey breast
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons salt
Preparation
1. Let turkey breast stand at room temperature 30 minutes; rinse with cold water, and pat turkey dry.
2. Stir together parsley, next 4 ingredients, and 1 tsp. salt. Loosen and lift skin from turkey without totally detaching skin, and rub parsley mixture under skin. Replace skin. Sprinkle cavity with 1/2 tsp. salt; rub into cavity. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tsp. salt on skin; rub into skin.
3. Light 1 side of grill, heating to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat; leave other side unlit. Place turkey over lit side, and grill, without grill lid, 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer turkey to unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 165°. Remove from heat, and let stand 30 minutes before slicing.
