*All cooking times based on medium-high grill temperature and cooking with the grill lid closed. **Nutritional analysis is for the standard 3-ounce “cooked” portion of meat, fish or poultry listed as a typical serving in MyPyramid.gov. Although the recipes call for 4 ounces per serving uncooked, 1 ounce of water weight is generally lost during cooking.
