Blueberry Balsamic Grilled Turkey Salad

turkey breast, approximately 2 lbs

salt

pepper

balsamic vinegar

tsp honey

blueberries

tsp black pepper

butter lettuce

peach, sliced

tbsp sliced red onion

sweet peppers

butternut squash (optional)

goat cheese

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.

Prepare the Turkey Breast:

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

Making the Blueberry Vinaigrette:

After the turkey has had time to rest in the dry salt brine, preheat your BBQ to 225 &#8211; 250 degrees.

Season the turkey with fresh ground pepper.

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.

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&#8230;this part should only take 5 minutes.  The final internal temperature should measure 165 degrees.

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

Grilling the Turkey Breast:

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

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

Then assemble everything is a large salad bowl.

Assembling the Salad:

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.

Drizzle with the blueberry balsamic dressing.

Putting it all together:

This Blueberry Spinach Salad Recipe with Blueberry Vinaigrette is fresh nutritious salad that makes a great side dish or meal.
