Ingredients
- 9 lb Bone-In Turkey Breast Skin On
- 4 Tbsp Butter softened
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme Leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
Supplies:
- Deep Sided Foil Pan
Instructions
- Preheat a grill over medium heat to approximately 350 degrees F. Place the turkey breast skin side up in a deep sided foil pan.
- Combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper together in a small pan.
- Rub the butter mixture on the outside of the turkey breast using a basting brush.
- Place the pan directly on the grill. Close the lid on the grill.
- Cook for 13-15 minutes per pound (so I baked the 9 lb turkey breasts for 2 hours) until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to the current temperature.
- Remove the oven, loosely cover with foil and allow the turkey breast to rest for at least at least 30 minutes.
- Then the turkey is ready to slice and then serve. Enjoy!
