This basic marinade is the perfect alternative to the traditional brining of your turkey because it doesn't overpower the flavor of the bird. Instead, it provides a protective layer for the grill, while still adding some subtle flavors, with seasonings like dried oregano, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire and white vinegar. This recipe makes enough marinade for a 12 to 16 pound turkey.
