Recipe yields 8 servings
In a large cup, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, ginger and brown sugar. In a large, shallow baking dish, arrange turkey breast and pour marinade over turkey to cover. Turn turkey to coat boat sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove turkey from marinade. Season turkey with salt and black pepper. Grill the turkey 8 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the turkey breast registers 165°. Let the turkey rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
