Maple Orange-Glazed Turkey Roast

Use an instant-read thermometer to determine when the turkey is ready. Cooking the bird on the grill adds a smoky taste. 

Ingredients

• 1   clove garlic, minced
• 1   tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
• 1/4  teaspoon salt
• 1/4  teaspoon pepper
• 3/4  cup orange juice
• 1   tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2  cup maple syrup
• 1   teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
• 1  2 1/2 - 3 1/2 pound boneless turkey roast
•  2   tablespoons butter, melted

   

  Directions: 

   

  1. In a small bowl combine garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper; set aside. For glaze, in a small saucepan stir together the orange juice and cornstarch; add half of the seasoning mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in maple syrup and orange peel; set aside.

  2. Brush the turkey roast with melted butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture. Insert a meat thermometer near the center of the roast.

  3. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place the turkey roast directly on the grill rack over the pan. Cover; grill for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 165F. Add coals to maintain heat every 30 minutes. Brush with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling. Remove meat from grill. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The meats temperature will rise 5F during standing.) Bring any remaining glaze to boiling; pass with turkey. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)

Grilled Salmon With Herb Crust

Finely chopped herbs create a flavorful crust on this grilled salmon, which is low in both calories and sodium.

Ingredients:

• 12   ounces fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, 3/4-inch thick
• 1/3  cup coarsely chopped fresh oregano
• 1/3  cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4  cup sliced green onion
• 1   clove garlic
• 1   tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2   teaspoons olive oil
• 1/4  teaspoon salt
• 1/8  teaspoon pepper

Directions:

 

1. Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into two (6-ounce) pieces. Set aside.

2. In the bowl of a food processor or a mini-chopper combine oregano, cilantro, green onion, garlic, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and process until chopped. (Or, use a knife to finely chop oregano, cilantro, green onion, and garlic. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Stir in lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper.) Generously coat both sides of salmon with the herb mixture.

3. Cook the salmon on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork. To serve, cut each salmon piece in half. Makes 4 servings.
