Turkey parts are widely available, and thighs are the most succulent - look for small ones, which are more tender. Chipotle peppers are smoked Mexican jalapeño peppers that come canned in adobo sauce. This is great served with Avocado Salad.
Ingredients
- 4 turkey thighs
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cumin
- 2 chipotle peppers with 2 tbsp (30 mL) adobo sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) liquid honey
- Salt, pepper and vegetable oil
Steps
- Sprinkle turkey with cumin and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper; brush with 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until juices run clear when pierced at thickest part, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, seed and mince peppers. Mix with adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice and honey; brush over turkey during last 2 minutes of cooking.

Variation
Grilled Spicy Chipotle-Glazed Turkey Brochettes: Instead of thighs, cut 1-1⁄2 lb (750 g) turkey breast into 1-1⁄2-inch (4 cm) cubes. Thread onto skewers and proceed as above, grilling until no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes.
