Marinade between 4 and 24 hours depending on thickness of turkey.
Adjust the marinade time based on the thickness of the turkey. Thicker cuts may require a longer marinade time for the flavors to penetrate.

For a turkey I do overnight and at least 24 hours.
For optimal flavor infusion, marinate the turkey overnight or for a minimum of 24 hours. This allows the meat to absorb the rich savory essence of the marinade.
-
I baste often and will inject marinade under the skin and into the meat with my baster.
During the marinating process, baste the turkey frequently to ensure even distribution of flavors. For deeper flavor penetration, use a baster to inject the marinade under the turkey’s skin and into the meat.
-
This is a BBQ recipe using either a BBQ rotisserie or just treating the BBQ like an oven.
Prepare your BBQ grill with a rotisserie attachment or simply use it as an oven substitute. The BBQ adds a smoky essence that complements the savory marinade.
-
I always baste during the grilling process.
While grilling, continue to baste the turkey with the marinade to keep it moist and flavorful. This step enhances the tenderness and juiciness of the meat.
-
Just cook till the turkey registers done with a thermometer.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked to perfection. The internal temperature should reach the recommended safe level for poultry.
-
Cook at least 20 minutes per lb.
Estimate the cooking time based on the weight of the turkey, allowing at least 20 minutes per pound for thorough cooking.
