One of my boys favorites, Grilled Herb Turkey lets you enjoy the savory flavors of Thanksgiving anytime – without all of the effort. That’s because you simply toss the marinated turkey breasts right onto the grill! Delish!
If you’re feeling ambitious, serve it with a side of homemade herb stuffing and cranberry sauce! If you’re pressed for time, no worries, just serve it with a side of wild rice and your favorite steamed veggie!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breasts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp finely minced fresh organic sage
- 1 tbsp fresh organic thyme (leaves only)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Cut turkey breasts into strips and lay side by side in a large baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sage, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Pour over turkey.
- Using your hands, rub the marinade evenly over the turkey. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or up to 24 hours.
- Heat grill on high heat. When grill reaches 400 degrees, add turkey and cook about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and cover with foil. Allow meat to sit 3-5 minutes before serving.
I have a hard time finding turkey breasts. Where do you get yours? Local grocery stores or famer’s market type stores? What do you typically pay?
It is definitely not easy to find quality turkey breasts. If you have a whole foods type store near you, you may be able to find them there. The whole foods in my city charges about $7 a pound. You could also google to see if you have a specialty meat and poultry market in your area, they often carry higher quality meats and poultry. As far as online sources, I really like US Wellness Meats, but unfortunately they do not carry turkey breasts. Blessings, Kelly
In the interest of saving money… have you tried dried sage and thyme instead of the fresh? Any idea how much to substitute or if it would change the dish?
Hi, Becky! You can certainly substitute dried herbs with fresh. The general rule of thumb is to substitute one teaspoon of dried herbs for one tablespoon of fresh herbs. Another great way to save money is to cultivate your own herb garden. I have a container herb garden, which works great if you have no backyard or limited space for growing an herb garden. Blessings,
