Tropical Glazed Grilled Turkey

I'm really looking forward to this summer and grilling season, so here's a great grilled turkey recipe.
  • 1 lb skinless turkey breasts
  • 1 (15 oz) can sliced pineapple
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Drain pineapple, reserving juice.  Combine honey, 2 Tbsp pineapple juice, butter, and spices.  Pour remaining pineapple juice over turkey breasts and let stand for 15 minutes while the grill is heating.  Remove turkey from pineapple juice and grill over hot coals for 4 minutes on one side, brushing with honey glaze.  Add pineapple slices to the grill, turning to brown on both sides and brushing with the glaze.  Turn turkey breasts, brush with more glaze, and top with pineapple.  Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink in the center.  Note: When the weather doesn't cooperate to grill outside, this can be made inside on a griddle or an electric grill such as a George Foreman grill.
