Blueberry Balsamic Grilled Turkey Salad

Step 1

For an extra moist and flavourful grilled turkey breast, I like to add a dry brine.  To do this sprinkle the meat with the 1 tsp of salt.  Let it rest in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours.

Step 2

Using a hand blender or food processor, combine all of the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.  Set aside.

Step 3

After the turkey has had time to rest in the dry salt brine, preheat your BBQ to 225 – 250 degrees.

Step 4

Season the turkey with fresh ground pepper.

Step 5

You want to roast the turkey over indirect heat, so add the turkey to a top rack in your barbecue.  Let it sit and cook until the internal temperature is 150 degrees.

Step 6

Then quickly take the meat off of the grill, turn up the heat in your barbecue to high, keep the lid open, and give the turkey breast a quick sear on both sides.  Flipping the breast multiple times, searing it until it has a nice crust…this part should only take 5 minutes.  The final internal temperature should measure 165 degrees.

Step 7

When the turkey is done, remove from heat and let rest under tin foil for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

While the turkey is grilling, you can begin to assemble the fresh salad ingredients.

Step 9

Wash and dry the butter lettuce and fresh blueberries. Slice the peach, red onions and sweet peppers.

Step 10

Then assemble everything is a large salad bowl.

Step 11

When it is time to serve the grilled turkey, cut the turkey into 3/4 inch slices, cut against the grain.  Then lay it on your assembled salad.

Step 12

Crumble on the goat cheese.

Step 13

Drizzle with the blueberry balsamic dressing.

Step 14

Serve with fresh bread and enjoy!
