Preparation

Step 1

Remove and discard skin and breast bone from turkey breast, separating halves; place turkey in a large, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.

Combine cranberry juice and next 5 ingredients. Cover tightly; shake vigorously. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade in refrigerator; pour remaining marinade over turkey. Seal bag and chill 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Position knife blade in food processor; add cranberries and next 7 ingredients. Pulse just until chopped, stopping once to scrape down sides. Transfer to a bowl; chill.

Remove turkey from marinade, discarding marinade.

Cook, covered with grill lid, over medium hot-coals (350-400) about 15 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 170, basting occasionally with marinade. Let stand 10 minutes; slice and serve with cranberry mixture.
