3) Slice turkey breast into 4-oz. portions; butterfly. Cover each portion with plastic wrap. With a mallet, flatten each piece to an even thickness in rectangular shape. Spread 1/3 cup stuffing over flattened turkey breast. Roll up tightly, encasing stuffing on both ends. Tie with twine. Cover with some of the marinade; reserve remaining marinade. Marinate in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours.
4) Preheat grill. Grill turkey breast until golden. Transfer to ovenproof dish; spoon a little marinade on top. Put in 400°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F. Remove twine. Slice each piece into three. Serve with fresh mango chutney.
