Ingredients

3 pounds Turkey Breast Tenderloins
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce divided

For the Rub:

½ teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

Preheat a grill over high heat. Rub the grill grates with the olive oil to keep the turkey tenderloin from sticking to the grill.
Mix the rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the turkey.
Sprinkle the rub over the turkey and rub it so that the turkey is well coated with the rub mixture.
Place the turkey tenderloins directly on the grill grates.
Cook for 8-10 minutes per side until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the last few minutes of the cooking time, brush 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce on both sides of the turkey tenderloins.
Remove from the grill and let the tenderloins sit for 20-30 minutes (so that the juices can settle).
Slice and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the turkey is cooked to a safe temperature before removing it from the smoker.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
