We tried this recipe right after Christmas, and we were blown away! Just wanted to stop by while I’m remembering to say thanks!
Aww thanks so much, Candice!
Fantastic recipe! We enjoyed the satay turkey more than the Thanksgiving turkey! Best TURKEY EVER!
Do you think I can recreate this recipe, without having to roast it for several hours? I would love to add it to my regular weeknight dinner menu. My family seriously loved it. No problem with leftover turkey going bad, it all got eaten!
Hey Janice, so glad you loved the recipe!
You can recreate this recipe. Most people actually make turkey satay using turkey breast tenderloins, and they usually marinate them, skewer them, and then they can be grilled. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions!
