Preparation

Step 1

Remove bone from turkey breast. Cut a horizontal slit into thickest part of turkey breast to form a 5X4 inch pocket. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl combine bread crumbs, apricots, pecans, butter, sherry or apple juice, rosemary, and garlic salt. Spoon stuffing into pocket. Securely fasten opening with water-soaked wooden toothpicks or tie with heavy string. Stir together mustard and oil; set aside. Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place turkey on grill over dip pan. Cover and grill for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center of turkey breast (not stuffing) registers 170 degrees F. Brushing with mustard mixture during the last 15 minutes. Remove turkey from grill and cover with foil. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Makes 8 servings. Note: Use kitchen shears to snip the dried apricots. It's easier, faster, and less messy than a knife and cutting board.
