8 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled
2- to 2 1/2-pound bone-in turkey breast half

Cover and grill turkey over drip pan and 5 to 6 inches from medium heat 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, turning occasionally and brushing with marinade, until meat thermometer reads 170°F and juice is no longer pink when center is cut.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Garlic is a phytonutrient--a plant nutrient. It's not necessary for life, but it may have some healthful benefits and lots of flavor!
tip 2
When grilling over indirect heat, food is cooked away from the heat. If using coals, arrange them around the edge of the firebox, and place a drip pan under the grilling area. If using a dual-burner gas grill, heat only one side, and place the food under the burner that is not lit. For single-burner gas grills, place food in a foil tray or on several layers of aluminum foil and use low heat.
