Cedar Plank Grilled Turkey Breast Roast With Charred Tomato Salsa
I don’t know about you, but I love to grill. We love it so much we even grill during the winter months! BBQ season is in full swing and it is the perfect time to get outside and cook up some amazing healthy meals on the grill.
On thing I used to never even think of grilling was turkey. I always made it the old fashion way, in the oven. However, when I was at a friends BBQ last summer they had grilled up some turkey and I was hooked. I couldn’t believe how delicious and packed with flavour it was.
Keep On Grilling With Canadian Turkey
If you have never tried grilled turkey breast on the BBQ, believe me when I tell you it is something you will want to do ASAP! Not only is it absolutely delicious, it is a great light and lean summer meal the whole family will enjoy.
Canadian turkey is not just for those special holiday gatherings. It is perfect for everyday meals, weekend get-togethers, family celebrations, lunches, and more! A whole turkey will easily feed a large group without breaking the bank. Using the leftovers, you can easily cook up multiple meals, like this delicious turkey pasta, making it even more budget friendly.
Don’t get stuck in the same BBQ routine of burgers, dogs, steak, and chicken. Switch it up the next time you grill and pop some delicious Canadian turkey on, your family and friends will thank you.
There are so many options when it comes to flavour and marinating your turkey ahead of time will ensure it is ready to cook when you are. Depending on how you want to cook, there are also different cuts. You can choose smaller cuts that cook quickly as you watch over them, or grab a larger cut to cook low and slow with little supervision! Don’t forget to grab some of your favourite vegetables to toss on the grill for a complete meal with little clean up.
Turkey Tips
Turkey doesn’t have to be boring. I am going to share some tips to help you get the most flavour from your favourite turkey grilling recipes!
- Use dry and wet rubs to season your turkey cuts. Turkey loves a variety of herbs and spices, so get experimenting with your favourite flavours to enhance the taste and texture of your turkey.
- Flip it! Use the flip-often method when cooking over direct heat to avoid burn spots and achieve an even browning and crisping.
- Leave it alone! When cooking over indirect heat, you need to leave your turkey cuts alone without flipping or turning them very often to achieve an even cooking, browning, and crisping.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and avoid overcooking and drying out. There is nothing worse than a dried out turkey!
- Cook your entire meal on the BBQ. From your appetizers to side dishes, vegetables to desserts, it all can be cooked on the grill with some planning.
If you are feeding a big crowd, Barbecuing a whole turkey is a perfect way to feed a big crowd. Visit the Canadian Turkey website for tips and instructions on how to barbecue a whole turkey!
