Grilled Turkey Breasts
If you’re looking to up your salad game, or add a touch of flavour to your dinner plate, break out the barbecue for some delicious grilled turkey breasts. It’s also a great addition to taco nights when you’re looking for a leaner, healthier protein for the family, or an easy substitute for your other favourite recipes.
Pro tip: Keep the skin on your turkey breast while grilling in order to lock in flavour and moisture, and then remove the skin later.

As we move into September, the best party plate is still a platter of kabobs—perfect for cozy fall gatherings. These recipes are great for mixing and matching seasonal vegetables and flavour combinations, especially since turkey is already such a flavourful meat. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or a family meal, kabobs are an easy and delicious option for any occasion this season.
Pro tip: Make sure you pre-soak your wooden skewers for at least 20 minutes.

There’s nothing quite like a burger to welcome the fall season, especially when you switch up your protein with turkey, which has just over half the fat of lean ground beef. As the days get cooler, grilling up some turkey patties is a simple and satisfying meal that pairs perfectly with all kinds of cozy fall sides. Whether you’re keeping it light or loading up on seasonal flavours, turkey burgers are a healthy and delicious option this September.
Pro tip: You can easily make your burger patties ahead of time and then freeze them for the future. Just make sure to thaw them for at least 30 minutes before you grill.
