1.
Cut turkey tenderloins in half horizontally to make four steaks. Place turkey steaks in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.

For a charcoal grill, grill turkey on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once and brushing with marinade halfway through cooking. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place turkey on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
