Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade and set aside. Tip: Can be made up to 3 days in advance.

  2. Marinade the turkey thighs in half of the marinade for a minimum of 2 hours, all the way up to 24 hours. Reserve half of the marinade to baste and use as a sauce later.
  3. Heat grill to low/medium level heat. Oil grill to prevent sticking.
  4. Place thighs on grill and cook, achieving nice colour and caramelization. Flip and baste throughout the cooking process to ensure all sides get colour.
  5. Adjust heat accordingly to ensure the sugars in the marinade don’t burn.
  6. Cook, flipping occasionally and basting for up to 20 minutes (depending on size of thigh) until internal temperature reaches 165°f.
  7. Remove from grill and top with remaining sauce.
  8. Sprinkle on coconut, peanuts, green onion, and thinly sliced chilli if desired.
  9. Coat mini bok choy in olive oil and grill briefly until coloured and slightly transparent. Serve and enjoy!
