Ninja Foodi Grill Recipe: Turkey Breast

Turkey Breast in the Ninja Foodi Grill

It doesn't have to be November for you to cook a turkey breast in the Ninja Foodi Grill.

Most of us love turkey sandwiches but typically don't go through the hassle of cooking an entire turkey. And I get that.

Frankly, it's a lot of work and a lot of meat to cook just for sandwiches.

But lately, supermarkets have been selling just the turkey breast on its own. You don't need to buy a large bird to have freshly cooked turkey at home. 

For most people, this makes cooking turkey so much more manageable. 

Typically these smaller turkey breasts are found in the freezer section of the meat department.

I've found that they range between 2-5 pounds and if you keep your eyes open for when they are on sale, they are quite reasonably priced.

One of the benefits of these pre-portioned turkey breasts is that they often come pre-brined in a salt solution. This not only keeps the turkey meat juicy and moist during the cooking, but it also adds a significant amount of flavor to the meat.

 

Don't forget to defrost the turkey breast 

 

Before you cook a turkey breast in the Ninja Foodi Grill, you want to make sure it has been properly defrosted. 

Most turkey breasts are fresh frozen and the package gives good directions as to the best defrosting method before cooking. 

If the packaging doesn't give defrosting suggestions, I recommend allowing it to defrost for a full 48 hours in the refrigerator.

Place the turkey breast on a wire rack over a sheet pan that will fit in your refrigerator. This will allow any juices which can sometimes seep out to get caught in the pan and not make a mess in your refrigerator.

If you've tried this recipe and enjoy it, I'm sure you will love this Moscow Mule brined pork chop. Give it a shot and leave a comment about how everyone loved it as much as we do!
