For rub, stir together jerk seasoning, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the turkey; rub in with your fingers.
-
For a charcoal grill, arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-high heat above pan. Place the turkey on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 25 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with glaze every 5 minutes. Cover and grill for 5 to 10 minutes more or until done (165 degrees F). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust for indirect cooking. Place the turkey on grill rack over burner that is off. Cover and grill as above.)
-
Transfer the turkey to a cutting board. Cover with foil; let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice the turkey across the grain.
