Your Eggcellency,
Sounds that they may be tenderloins, buy the weight. Here is one I like.[p] Turkey, Breast, Tenderloins, Blueberry, Chutney, Jenny-O
[p]INGREDIENTS:
2 lemon garlic turkey breast tenderloins (30 ounces/package of 2 ), Jenny-O
1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
*******SAUCE********
1 cup fresh blueberries (rinsed)
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup mango chutney
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1-2 Tbs. Balsamic Vinegar, to taste
1 Tbs jalapeño pepper jelly




Original Recipe
1 Preheat grill on medium-high. Cut tenderloins diagonally, across length, into about eight 1-inch-thick slices (medallion cut). Drizzle oil over both sides of slices. Wash hands.
2 Place turkey on grill, using tongs; close lid (or cover with foil). Grill 5–6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 170°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.)
3 While turkey grills, place remaining ingredients in small saucepan on medium-high. Cook 8–10 minutes, whisking often, until blueberries break up and flavors are well blended. Serve sauce over turkey.
*******BGE Variation********
1 The above recipe was the original, however for Father's Day, 06/18/06, I modified it to a BGE on my small, Did it indirect, got BGE to 300°F added 3-4 pieces of applewood and placed them on until internal reached 155°F, about 45-60 minutes.
2 For sides had some vidalia onions sliced 1/2 inch thick and some portobello mushrooms cut 3/4 inch thick and marinated both in Italian salad dressing for 15 minutes and then just placed on the side of the breasts until they were done, about 45 minutes.

Your Eggcellency,
Finally someone who uses balsamic. Did you see my post regarding the new balsamic glaze? This is wonderful. I did not hear from anyone regarding this new product and YOU ALL don't know what you are missing.
