Ingredients

  • 8-10 large turkey or chicken tenders
  • 8-10 slices of thin-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ΒΌ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon wine or wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • First, fire up your grill to medium-high. As it heats, prepare your turkey!
  • If your tenders are thick or uneven, first use a meat mallet to slightly thin them and even them out.
  • Grab one slice of bacon, and wrap it around one tender, using toothpicks to secure the ends. Repeat with all the meat.
  • Now, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, wine vinegar, water, and a little salt. Mix together.
  • Once the grill is hot, place all the turkey tenders on the heat, and brush one side with the prepared BBQ sauce. Close the grill, and let them cook for 6-7 minutes undisturbed.
  • Then, flip the tenders, and brush the other side with the sauce. Let cook for 5-6 minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately!
