Notes

Option: you may substitute two 1.5 lb. turkey breasts. If you do this, bake in pre-heated 400° F oven for 30 minutes. Then, apply Red Chile BBQ Sauce, reduce oven temperature to 350° F and bake an additional 30-40 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°.  Slice. Each turkey breast yields 4 servings.
