Plank Cooking Turkey Recipe

A couple of things before we start, please disregard many of my plank cooking tips because we’re going to use a good sized turkey breast so:-

• It’s an overnight marinade
• It’ll take longer than 15mins to cook
• Make sure you’ve go a big enough cooking plank!

Ingredients:-

• 2 ½ Kg or 6lb turkey breast
• 500ml can of lager (beer) or 1 pint
• 500ml or 1 pint water
• 4 tablespoons runny honey
• 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, black pepper
• 1 inch cube fresh chopped ginger
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt

Method:-

Place the turkey breast in a suitable marinade bowl, mix up all the other ingredients and pour over the turkey. Cover with stretch wrap and leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

When ready to cook, remove the turkey from the marinade and pat dry. Place it on the pre-heated cooking plank and cook for 75 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.

Give it a prod with a skewer and if the juices run clear then it ready to eat.

TIP 1 - Turkey should always be left for 30 minutes when removed from the oven because this allows the cooking process to finish and the juices to thicken so leaving the breast beautifully moist.

TIP 2 - Place a drip tray under the plank during the cooking process and you’ll be rewarded with some delicious juice to add in a sauce.
