Marinated Turkey Breast

          

This recipe came from my mother. These always turn out juicy and tender no matter how long my husband leaves them on the grill! Easy to prepare, but it’s always best when marinated for at least 4 hours.

Original recipe makes 12 servings

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (3 pound) boneless turkey breast halves
6 whole cloves

2 tablespoons lemon juice
