Ingredients

  • 2 ancho chiles that are dried, with their stems and seeds removed
  • 2 pasilla chile peppers, also dried and deseeded
  • A pair of teaspoons of ground cumin
  • Two teaspoons of dried minced onion
  • A teaspoon and a half of salt
  • Half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • Two teaspoons of brown sugar
  • The juice of two limes
  • A boneless turkey breast weighing around 5 pounds

Step 1

Prepare a flavorful spice blend by grinding ancho chiles, pasilla chiles, cumin, onion, salt, and pepper until finely powdered using a spice or coffee grinder. Transfer the aromatic blend into a bowl and mix in brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 2

Next, generously squeeze fresh lime juice over the turkey and massage it with the prepared spice blend, allowing the flavors to meld together during a relaxing hour-long marinade session.

Step 3

As the turkey absorbs the delicious spices, preheat your outdoor grill over high heat and lightly grease the grate to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Adjust the grill heat to medium and carefully place the marinated turkey breast on the grill, searing each side for 3 to 4 minutes to lock in the flavors.

Step 5

For even cooking, turn off half of the grill burners and continue to grill the turkey breast for 15 to 20 minutes, periodically basting with any leftover marinade for added moisture and flavor. Flip the turkey over, baste once more, and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer reads a safe internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), which typically takes an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Allow the succulent turkey breast to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving, ensuring a juicy and flavorful dish for your enjoyment.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your chile-lime turkey breast delight fresh and flavorful by storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  2. 2. To enhance the zesty flavors, consider marinating the turkey breast in a mixture of chili, lime, and garlic before storing.
