More Barbecue Turkey Recipes

Barbecue turkey recipes don’t come any better than this one. The beauty is that it’s marinated in brine which helps it stay moist through the barbecue cooking process and therefore can be done over direct heat.

The brine marinade needs a good 6 hours to work its magic so you’ve really got to start the preparation the night before

I like to use Turkey pieces but you can use ready sliced breast just as well.

For the Brine you’ll need:-

• 200ml / 1 Cup honey
• 200ml / 1 Cup salt
• 2 onions roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons dried mixed herbs
• 1 litre / 5 Cups cold water
• 100ml / 1/2 Cup White wine vinegar
• A handful of juniper berries (optional)

Method:-

Pour all the ingredients into a large pan and bring to the boil, keep stirring to make sure all the salt dissolves and get the flavour out of the onions and herbs. Then allow to cool.

Next drop in your turkey pieces and allow to marinate overnight.

When your coals are ready you can take the turkey straight out of the brine and slap them on the grill. Depending on the thickness it’s going to take anywhere from 10 minutes for a sliced breast to maybe 20 for a piece. Turn regularly, tongs in one hand, beer in the other!
