Blackened Turkey Breast

chef blade's Note:

A different way to serve turkey. This is not a slow roasted bird! If you are grilliterate, this can be done using the indirect method with a little hickory or mesquite added to the charcoal.

We really enjoyed this! I made a spicy turkey broth from the bones (we didn't use boneless) and the broth and turkey meat were both very flavorful. Thanks for a keeper!
