recipe we’re making today will get youthere we are making my marinated and
smoked turkey breast let’s do itthis recipe is gonna take five minutes to
prep eight hours to marinate and twohours to cook you need about a five
pound turkey breast boneless skinlessmost grocery stores have these back in
the butcher counter so just go ask evenif it’s not around the holidays you can
usually find one for the marinade weneed two cups of lemon-lime soda a cup
of soy sauce 1/2 a cup of vegetable oiltwo cloves of minced garlic and a
tablespoon of creamy preparedhorseradish first step is to make the
marinade you simply pour all theingredients in a gallon zip top bag and
then mix to combineso this marinade is a Utah staple Todd
and I have been making this marinadeforever it’s actually one of the first
things that we made to take on our firstever camping trip right after we got
married it works great with Turkey thefirst time we did it we used it with
chicken so both work put your turkeybreast in the marinade stick it in the
fridge and this will marinate for abouteight hours this marinades actually
considered a legend here in Utah there’sthis tiny little town with some of the
largest turkey farms and they have afestival every year and so local church
congregations and groups would buy theseturkey breasts from the turkey farms
whip up this marinade because it’s supersimple it’s really affordable and then
they would grill it for all the peopleand tourists that came to the festival
every summer and I think growing upevery mom on my street had their own
version of the Manti turkey marinaderecipe this one’s mineafter eight hours of marinating we’re
ready for the second step it’s time tohead out to the smoker alright we’ve got
our grill preheated to 225 degrees we’reusing Applewood cherry would also be a
great option those fruit woods arereally nice because they have a mild
smoke flavor it’s not going to competewith the bold flavors we have in the
marinade just remove your turkey breastfrom your marinade just shake off any
excess liquid because you don’t reallywant that dripping down into the bottom
of your smokerall right we’re gonna close the lid in
two hours our target temperature isgoing to be about 150 degrees Fahrenheitall right it’s been nearly two hours
time to check on our turkey just use aninstant-read thermometer in the thickest
part of the turkey breast we’re right at145 so that means I have a couple
minutes to prep for the final step whichis a sear to caramelize all of those
flavors on the outside I’m gonna bedoing that with a propane gas grill
we’re gonna preheat this to about 600degrees if you don’t have a gas grill
you can also do this step in a cast-ironskillet our turkey breast is at 150 that
means it’s time for the final step whichis a nice sear on the outside for color
and for flavor this is only gonna takeabout three to four minutes per side we
just want to finish cooking this turkeyuntil the internal temperature is 160
degrees Fahrenheit you can start to seethe carmelization from this high
temperature grill just creating thatnice char and crisp and crunch on the
outside of the turkey breast oh it’slooking so good I’m gonna turn it just a
little bit so we get those nice hatchgrill marks on top we’re almost there
our turkey is at 160 that means it’stime to come off the grilloh my goodness look at all the juices on
there you have that beautiful goldencolor from the marinade combined with
that applewood smoke set it on yourserving platter cover it lightly with
foil we want this to rest for just acouple of minutes and the carry over
cooking is gonna bring the internalfinish temperature up to about 165
degrees and then we’re ready to sliceand eat our turkeys been resting for
about 10 minutes that means it’s time totake a piece it looks beautiful it
