Bye, bye dry…this is a turkey dinner to be thankful for! Naturally sweet, tangy grilled peaches are the perfect accompaniment to a turkey breast that turns our tastebuds moist and mouthwatering. This perfectly balanced meal is high in protein and under 300 calories per serving. You’ll gobble it up! Serves 4, with leftovers. —Susan E. Levy

Did not make the peaches because fresh peaches were not in season, but we really enjoyed the marinade with the grilled turkey breast. Very moist, with good flavor and a nice bark.
