Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3 ounces turkey)
Ingredients: 1 cup hickory wood chips; 1 tablespoon Hungarian sweet paprika or paprika; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; ¾ teaspoon garlic powder; ¾ teaspoon onion powder; ¾ teaspoon black pepper; ½ teaspoon ground red pepper; ¼ teaspoon ground cloves; 1 (2-pound) skinned, boned turkey breast half; Cooking spray

To prepare turkey for indirect grilling, preheat grill to medium-hot using both burners. After preheating, turn the left burner off (leave the right burner on). Place wood chips on hot coals. Place a disposable aluminum foil pan on briquettes on left side. Pour 2 cups water in pan. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill. Place turkey on grill rack covering left burner. Cover and grill for 1 hour and 50 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 180°, turning halfway during cooking time.

Chef's Notes

Any kind of wood chips will work here. Serve this moist turkey breast with sweet potato wedges: Cut potatoes into 6 wedges; toss with oil, salt, and pepper, and bake at 400º for 35 minutes or until done.

This recipe is very spicy (and I'm not afraid of spicy....it's just that the heat over powers the flavor of the turkey) so I reduced the red pepper to 1/4 tsp the second time I made it. I served with baked sweet potatoes and steamed green beans. We call it, "Thanksgiving in Summer" and invite friends and family over to celebrate. I also made a pumpkin butter pecan ice cream pie (Taste of Home) to keep with the "Thanksgiving in Summer" theme. Very simple to prepare!
