Italian-style grilled turkey breast with mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaves, garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Grilled Turkey Breast with Basil & Mozzarella

Olive oil for coating
1 package Honeysuckle White®Turkey Breast
4 slice mozzarella cheese
1 small bunch fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup salted butter, at room temperature
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  1. Prepare your gas or charcoal grill for medium-high direct heat grilling. Oil the grill rack.
  2. Butterfly the turkey breasts using a long, thin, sharp knife: Cut each turkey tenderloin horizontally into the thickest part, to within 1/2-inch of the other side (so that it can be opened like a book) then cut each in two. Do the following with each breast: Open the tenderloin like a book and place between sheets of plastic wrap. Pound lightly, using a meat mallet, to even out the thickness. Remove the top sheet of wrap.
  3. Place 1 slice of cheese and a few basil leaves on one half of the breast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and close the breast.
  4. Coat with a little olive oil, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 3 ingredients with a fork and mix well. Form into a log in waxed paper and refrigerate until ready for use.
  6. Grill turkey breasts for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center.
  7. Top each breast with a pat of the garlic butter.

Makes 4 servings.
