  • 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.
