I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Honeysuckle White. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Ingredients

For this terrific grilled turkey recipe, you need the following ingredients:

  • 4 Honeysuckle White turkey breast cutlets approximately ½″ thick
  • ½ cup light soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 – 6 ounce can pineapple juice
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger juice or freshly grated ginger
  • 2 – 3 cloves garlic pressed

Instructions

Start by making a light marinade. It keeps the meat moist and tender. I let the meat marinate for 1-2 hours.

While the turkey is marinating, you can make a simple Asian Ginger Coleslaw to complement the meat. (To simplify side dish prep time, a bag of pre-cut coleslaw mix + a bottle of pre-made Asian Coleslaw dressing = more time to enjoy with friends and family.)  Cubes of pineapple round out this simple and delicious meal.

Marinating Turkey

About 20 minutes before serving, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the turkey cutlets for approximately 5 minutes on each side until they are thoroughly cooked.

If you like teriyaki sauce, place ¾ cups of the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Blend  1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Mix until there are no lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the heated marinade and stir until thickened.

    I have never heard of Honeysucle White before but I love that they tell you who their farmers are. I’m going to research this company a little more closely. I’m all about supporting companies committed to providing healthy foods. That recipe sounds delicious!

    Looks so yummy! I love that you added pineapple as a side. This would be a great alternative to chicken cutlets that my kids always eat

    Yum, yum, and more yum! I love teriyaki but haven’t tried it on my turkey. This sounds like our next weekend BBQ.

    My little girl adores grilled chicken in similar sauces. I bet she would like the turkey cutlets as well.

    I never buy turkey breasts but I should because they are so healthy.. I get stuck in the chicken rut! I need to branch out more.

      Would this work if I’m putting a whole turkey on the grill bbq, which we are, in foil. But, How much would I double/triple ingredients? Thank u so much!

        I’m not sure. A lot would depend on how large the whole turkey is. Have you grilled a whole turkey in the past?
