VIDEO: How to prepare marinade for turkey meat

Marinate turkey meat before grilling

• The basis of every marinade is the oil. It is all the more important that you use a high-quality vegetable oil. Cold-pressed olive oil, for example, is very suitable for this. In addition, its taste goes wonderfully with grilling and gives the meat a Mediterranean note. You can of course use other types of oil, depending on your preferences.
• Before the meat is on the grill, it should have been marinated for at least two to three hours. So take this time into account when preparing. Of course, you can extend the duration of two to three hours a little longer as you wish.
• First, put plenty of olive oil in a small bowl, i.e. at least three to four tablespoons. To do this, squeeze three cloves of garlic with the garlic press and add to the oil. Mix everything well.

• Then squeeze a lemon and add a good splash of the lemon juice to the oil with the garlic. The acidity of the lemon makes the meat particularly tender later when grilling. Mix everything again with a spoon and then add two tablespoons honey to.

• The marinade is rounded off with a little mustard, pepper and spices of your choice. Oregano, paprika, or mixed herbs work well. It is important that you do not add salt to the marinade! Because it would remove too much liquid from the turkey meat before grilling and make it tough. Salt the meat just before you put it on the grill.
• When you have mixed the marinade thoroughly, put it in a shallow container and add the meat to it. Then cover everything with cling film and put the turkey meat in the marinade in the refrigerator. After an hour, you should turn the meat once so that it comes into contact with the marinade evenly on all sides!
