This recipe for Grilled Teriyaki Turkey is delicious, light, and refreshing. Serve with pineapple and slaw to complete the meal.
📝 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
- 6 ounces 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.
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 cup 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!

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.

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