This turkey breast marinade recipe came from my mother. These always turn out juicy and tender no matter how long my husband leaves them on the grill. It's easy to prepare but always best when marinated for at least 4 hours.

- 2 cloves garlic , peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 bonelesss turkey breast halves , 3 pound
- 6 whole cloves
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions

Mix garlic, basil, and pepper together in a small bowl; rub over turkey breasts. Insert 1 clove into each end of turkey breasts and 1 in the center.

Discard marinade and place turkey on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook until turkey is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
