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.
It’s that time of year – BBQ season. This year, I have added a new treat to my grilling line up – Terikayi Turkey.
I start by using Honeysuckle White turkey breast cutlets.
Next, I make a light marinade. It keeps the meat moist and tender. I let the meat marinate for 1-2 hours. While the turkey is marinating, I 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 I want to serve my guests, I preheat my grill to medium-high heat. I cook the turkey cutlets for approximately 5 minutes on each side until they are thoroughly cooked.
If you like teriyaki sauce, place 3/4 cups of the reserved marinade in a small sauce pan 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.
Grilled Teriyaki Turkey

May 6, 2015 at 7:00 pmI 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!

May 5, 2015 at 9:00 pmLooks 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

May 5, 2015 at 2:27 pmThis looks delicious! I’m a huge fan of anything teriyaki flavored but I hadn’t thought of trying turkey! I will be adding this to next week’s meal plan!

May 5, 2015 at 11:08 amMy little girl adores grilled chicken in similar sauces. I bet she would like the turkey cutlets as well.

December 14, 2017 at 1:43 amWould 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
December 14, 2017 at 9:06 amI’m not sure. A lot would depend on how large the whole turkey is. Have you grilled a whole turkey in the past?
