How to Make Savoury Chinese Turkey Meat Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until well combined.
  2. This recipe makes approximately 1 cup of marinade.
  3. Use 1 cup of marinade for every 2-3 pounds of turkey.
  4. Place turkey in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over turkey, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours) for thicker cuts of turkey.
  6. Preheat your BBQ or oven to 325°F (165°C).
  7. Place the marinated turkey on your BBQ rotisserie or in a roasting pan.
  8. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the remaining marinade during cooking.
  9. For extra flavor, inject marinade under the skin and into the meat using a baster.
  10. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh, using a meat thermometer. Plan on at least 20 minutes of cooking time per pound.
  11. Remove from heat and let the turkey rest for at least 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
  12. Carve and serve. Enjoy!
