Grilled Turkey or chicken Marinade

I love this marinade.  It reminds me of some of the best summers of my youth.  When I was 12 years old, I went to stay with my Cousin Claudia in Manti Utah for the summer.  Not only did I learn to cook and can at her side, I was part of "The Mormon Miracle Pageant." http://mormonmiracle.org/bio4.html I had so much fun living with Claudia and her family and making wonderful friends that I returned for the next 4 summers.

During the Pageant, the church members would grill turkey from Moroni Utah http://www.norbest.com/ and serve
it with a baked potato, green beans, a green salad, a roll and dessert.  This dinner was available for any of the travelers to the pageant to purchase before the show.  I remember helping to serve and clean tables before it was time to get ready for my (our) part in the pageant.  I loved meeting and talking to people from all over the country that came to see the pageant! 

I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs today and they taste wonderful too if Turkey is not available!

2-3 pounds skinless, boneless Turkey or Chicken
(I like the dark meat, it seams to be more juicy)
1 c. oil
1 c. soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon horseradish
2 c. lemon lime soda or 1 can of lemon lime soda
Place a gallon size zip lock bag in a bowl
for better stability in the refrigerator.

Clean the fat off the meat before adding to the zip lock bag.

Place meat to be marinated in a gallon zip lock bag.
 
 Add the rest of the ingredients.
Oil
 
Soy Sauce

Garlic Powder

Horseradish

Lemon Lime Soda

Close the zip lock, releasing the air while closing it

Message the bag to mix all ingredients thoroughly  
 
 Place meat with marinade in refrigerator
over night or for at least 2 hours. 
(if you mix this in the morning it will be perfect for your grill that night)
 
 Grill on medium low(about 300 degrees) till juices run clear and
meat is no longer pink. About 8-10 minutes on each side.
 
 
Turn over and grill the other side.
 
All done and ready to serve!
 
Lots of love to all my family and friends in and from Manti Utah!
