Prep Time: 10 minutes - 12 hours
Cook Time: 1 - 2 hours

Ingredients:

Ice Cubes
Whole Turkey Breast
Unsalted Butter, melted

Brine:

Kosher Salt
Hot Water
Grams Honey
Allspice, crushed
Coarsely Chopped Fresh Ginger
Garlic, crushed
Cloves
Bay Leaves
Cinnamon Stick

Additional Items:

• Large 8-qt Stockpot
• Paper Towels
• Disposable Aluminum Pan (drip pan)
• Instant-read Thermometer

Directions:

In a large 8-quart stockpot, dissolve the salt in the hot water. Add the rest of the brine ingredients and stir to combine. Let cool to room temperature. Add the ice cubes to the brine.
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and then place it in the brine. Add enough cold water to totally cover the turkey breast by at least 1/2 inch. Carefully stir the brine again. Cover and refrigerate for about 12 hours.
Remove the turkey breast from the stockpot and discard the brine. Pat dry with paper towels.
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350℉ to 450℉).
Place the turkey, skin side up, in a roasting rack set inside a large disposable foil pan. Brush the skin with the melted butter. Grill the turkey breast over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 160℉ to 165℉ in the thickest part of the breast (not touching the bone), about 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes (the internal temperature a few degrees during this time). Cut into thin slices.
