Smart Tips
-
Marinade Penetration: For deeper flavor penetration, gently lift the skin of the turkey and rub some of the marinade directly onto the meat.
-
Marinating Time: The longer the turkey marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Overnight marination is recommended.
-
Basting: Regular basting with the marinade during roasting will help keep the turkey moist and enhance its flavor.
-
Temperature Monitoring: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey for perfect doneness.
-
Serving Suggestion: Pair the soy sauce turkey with sides that complement its Asian-inspired flavors, like stir-fried vegetables or a light noodle dish.
