Texas Dry Rub Slow Grilled Turkey Breast

Day 4 of our Christmas Turkey on the Grill series. Today we are looking at a Texas dry rub recipe for a smaller meal.

The grill masters at MyRecipes.com have a great recipe for a small gathering or several meals. The recipe says that it makes 8 servings, but my guess is that your going to like it so much that you don’t get more than 4 out of it.
