Tips for Making Turkish Marinade

  • Use fresh herbs and spices whenever possible. This will give your marinade the best flavor.
  • Taste your marinade before using it. This will help you adjust the flavors to your liking.
  • Use a non-reactive bowl or container to marinate your meat. This will prevent the marinade from reacting with the metal and giving your meat a metallic taste.
  • Marinate your meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and flavor it.
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, drain the marinade and pat the meat dry. This will help the meat brown better.
