Your Guide to Grilling Turkey
When the weather heats up, so does the grill. Turkey is a flavorful, lean alternative to your typical barbecue staples. Whether you’re hosting a backyard party or just looking to switch up your weeknight dinner, grilling turkey offers endless possibilities.
At Hillside Turkey Farms in Thurmont, MD, we offer a variety of fresh, high-quality turkey cuts perfect for your summer grilling lineup.
1. Turkey Breast Cutlets
Thin-sliced and quick to cook, turkey breast cutlets are a grill master’s dream. They soak up marinades beautifully and work well in sandwiches, wraps, or plated with summer sides. Try a lemon herb marinade or a simple salt, pepper, and garlic rub to let the natural flavor shine through.
2. Turkey Tenderloins
Tenderloins are the filet mignon of turkey: lean, juicy, and flavorful. These thick cuts are ideal for the grill, especially when marinated for a few hours. Slice them thin after grilling and serve with grilled veggies or on a summer salad.
3. Ground Turkey for Burgers
Looking for a lighter burger option? Our ground turkey makes juicy, protein-packed patties that are anything but boring. Add chopped onions, fresh herbs, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce for burgers that hold their own against any beef patty. Pro tip: don’t overhandle the meat—keep it loose and tender for the best results.
4. Turkey Sausage Links
Add some zip to your cookout with Hillside’s turkey sausage links. From traditional breakfast flavors to spicy varieties, our sausages are packed with bold taste and grill up with a beautiful sizzle. Serve them on a toasted bun or sliced over a summer pasta salad.
5. Turkey Drumsticks
Bring some fairground flair to your backyard with grilled turkey drumsticks. These hearty cuts are fun to eat and packed with flavor. Brush with BBQ sauce and slow-grill them to juicy perfection. They’re always a hit with both kids and adults.
