  • 2 tbsp red onion diced
  • ½ jalapeño seeded and diced
  • ¼ habanero peppers seeded and diced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Make the habanero glaze: In a pan over low heat, heat the pineapple, garlic, ginger powder, and lemon juice, stirring frequently for 1 to 2 minutes (or until the pineapple becomes soft).
  • Add the honey, habanero pepper, and vinegar and continue to heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and place the mix into a blender. Pulse blend to desired thickness. For best taste, let sauce sit for a minimum of 30 minutes for flavors to set.
  • Heat one side of a gas grill on medium, or place coals on one side of a charcoal grill, and heat until coals are ash white.
  • Rub turkey breast all over with chili powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Place the seasoned turkey breast on the side of the grill opposite the heat or the coals and grill for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, turning every 15 minutes.
  • After 1-hour of cooking, brush 1 serving of the habanero glaze on the grilled turkey breast. Brush every 15 minutes or so until the grilled turkey breast has finished cooking.
  • While the turkey is grilling, prepare the salsa: Mix the mango, red pepper, red onion, jalapeno, habanero, and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Squeeze lime juice over it.
  • After the turkey breast has finished grilling and has reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and is no longer pink, remove it from the grill.
  • Top with peach mango salsa and enjoy!
