ingredients

2 pounds turkey thighs, skinned and fat removed
3/4 cup barbecue sauce, plain
1/4 cup green onion, white and green parts, sliced
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground

directions

In a 2-cup measure, combine barbecue sauce, onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic and ginger. Remove 1/3 cup, cover and refrigerate. Pierce holes in thighs using tines of fork.

In a self-closing bag, combine thighs and remaining marinade. Seal bag and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to marinate evenly.

Prepare grill for indirect heat cooking. Cook thighs over hot coals 25-30 minutes per side or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush with reserved marinade.

Serve hot with a favorite rice dish and a vegetable if desired.
