We've all likely heard of BBQ chicken, but BBQ turkey? It's true! See how good grilling can be with this recipe, courtesy of The Biggest Loser Cookbook:

BBQ Turkey Breast

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Jennie-O Turkey Store Boneless, Skinless Turkey Breast Roast
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (3 grams of sugar or less per serving)
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8" x 8" pan with olive oil spray. Combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Place turkey on a cutting board. With a fork, pierce each side deeply about 25 times. Drizzle on oil and rub to coat evenly. Sprinkle on reserved seasoning mixture. Rub to coat. With smooth side of the breast down, drizzle on half of the barbecue sauce, rubbing to coat. Place the turkey, smooth side up, in pan. Rub remaining BBQ sauce over top. Pour water into the pan, taking care not to pour it over the turkey.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160 degrees F and the juices run clear. Remove from the oven. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place the turkey on a clean cutting board. Carve against the grain into thin slices, or cut into cubes.

Good idea! And the leftovers would be great in a tex-mex type of salad.
