Grilled Teriyaki Turkey
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!
Wow…that looks good, I need to try and see how it comes out. I love turkey!
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
Wow – that looks so good! I love that you paired it with pineapple.
Yum, yum, and more yum! I love teriyaki but haven’t tried it on my turkey. This sounds like our next weekend BBQ.
I’ve never seen turkey cutlets before. I need to look for them on my next shopping trip. I pinned this recipe. It sounds delicious.
This 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!
That sounds absolutely delicious. I think this meal would be a huge hit with my family!
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.
I wasn’t familiar with Honeysuckle White before, but it sounds like a great company. And YUM! Your recipe looks delicious!
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?
