Start turkey breast and cook as described in step 3. Meanwhile finish sauce by bringing back to light boil, add the corn starch and water mixture, and thicken, cook 1 minute more, and take off heat, add fresh blackberries if desired.
3. Prepare grill for indirect cooking, when fire is ready, remove turkey from marinade, pat dry, and rub with 1 tsp of olive oil. Grill turkey breast directly over hot fire for 2 minutes, rotate 1/4 turn and cook an additional 2 minutes.
