Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg Honeysuckle White® Turkey Thighs
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Grilled pineapple slices, for garnish

Instruction:

  1. To make the marinade, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, minced garlic and minced ginger in a bowl. Mix well.
  2. Pour the marinade over the Honeysuckle White® Turkey Thighs, reserving about 1/3 of marinade for basting later.
  3. Let the turkey thighs marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or leave in the refrigerator overnight to maximize flavor.
  4. When ready, fire up the grill and set it up for dual-zone grilling, leaving one side hot and 1 side cooler. Set the temperature to medium, around 350°F.
  5. Start the turkey on the direct heat side of the grill, turning them every 2-3 minutes, until both sides are nicely browned and charred up.
  6. Move the turkey to the indirect side to finish cooking, and baste them with the reserved marinade every 5-10 minutes to build up that delicious flavor.
  7. Pull the turkey from the grill when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grilled pineapple slices. Serve!

FAQ

How do you keep a turkey from drying out on the grill?

Prepare the Grill Regardless of the type of grill you use, keep the turkey away from the edges of the cooking surface so that heat can flow around it. You want even heating so one side doesn’t cook faster than the other. Use a drip pan. Indirect heat is the key to moist, evenly cooked meat.

Do you wrap turkey legs in foil when grilling?

Wrap each drumstick in heavy-duty aluminum foil along with 1/4 cup of the marinade; grill, covered with the grill lid, over medium heat (300° to 350°), turning the turkey after 30 minutes; remove foil; reserve marinade.

How long does it take to cook a turkey leg on a gas grill?

Cooking Instructions: Place the turkey legs on the grill and sear for about 3 minutes on each side. Then, brush each leg with the KC Masterpiece® sauce, cover the grill, and cook for about 50 minutes, turning and basting each leg with additional barbecue sauce every 20 minutes.

How long does it take to grill a turkey at 350?
