Yield: 20 Servings

10 75 85

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless turkey breast halves (about 2-1/2 pounds each)
1 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
SAUCE:
1 can (14 ounces) jellied cranberry sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Place turkey in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the next five ingredients; pour over turkey. Seal and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill turkey, covered, over indirect heat for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170°. Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with the turkey. Yield: 10 servings.
