Adapted from: http://www.foodnetwork.com/…/grilled-turkey-po-boy-recipe.h…

Serves: 3- 4

1 whole wheat French baguette, split lengthwise and cut into 3 to 4 equal pieces
3 Tbsp. Margarine, softened
3/4 lb. Beer brined Turkey Breast
4 to 5 heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/4 c. pepperoncini slices, drained
1 1/2 c. shredded romaine lettuce, loosely packed, (discard very dark loosely leaves).

Beer Brined Turkey

1 (2 1/2 to 3- lb.) turkey breast, bone-in
3 c. beer
1/2 c.hot sauce
2 Tbsp. Course Himalayan salt
1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
1 Tbsp. fresh garlic, mined
1 Tbsp. Crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Low fat or low sodium Tartar sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to a low broil. Margarine the bread and place on a baking sheet. Broil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, and remove from the oven.

2. Spread Tartar sauce on both sides of the bread. Layer on the turkey, tomatoes, pepperoncini and romaine. Top with other half of bread and serve.

Beer Brine Turkey Breast

1. Blend together all ingredients inside a large mixing bowl, and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

2. Preheat the oven at 325.

3. Remove the turkey breast from the brine, drain well and pat dry with paper towels.

4. Place the turkey breast, skin-side up, on a baking sheet with a properly fitted wire rack. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature to 400 and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the skin is nicely browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for about 10 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium heat and oil the grates with vegetable oil.-(Cautious Alert: be very careful not to oil over the flame's).

6. Once the turkey has snoozed, cut the meat off the bone and carve into 3/8-in thick slices. Place the slices on the grill and cook 1 to 2 minutes on both sides, just until grill marks develop. Once you see grill marks remove from grill and serve.
