Marinating takes 30 minutes, so plan ahead. You will need enough charcoal to keep the fire going for around 1 1/2 hours. I just add a few pieces at the time through the sides of the grill and then move them to the center with a tong or fork.

How To Make indonesian grilled turkey

  • 1
    Place the turkey breast in a large heavy-duty zip top plastic bag.
  • 2
    Combine the remaining ingredients in the container of a blender. Process on high speed for 1 minute or until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade mixture to serve with the turkey.
  • 3
    Pour the remaining marinade mix into the bag with the turkey breast. Seal the bag securely and place in a large bowl. Marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • 4
    Prepare a charcoal fire on one side of the grill. Let it burn for 15 to 20 minutes. Place a 9-inch pan filled with water on the opposite side of the grill from the coals. (I use a saved foil container).
  • 5
    Remove the turkey breast from the marinade and place over the water-filled pan. Close the grill hood. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reaches 170°, basting occasionally. (To keep the fire hot, you can add some charcoal to the fire side of the grill occasionally.)
  • 6
    Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup of the marinade.
