Sticky and crispy Honey Garlic Turkey made fast and simple, with honey garlic sauce. Beautiful!
The sauce is so good you’ll want to use it as a topping on many recipes. This honey garlic turkey recipe is also easy to make.

PROTEIN:
Most of the world is embracing fitness and healthy living, and turkey is an amazing protein for everyone doing so. It’s lean, versatile and can be flexed into all of your favourite dishes
THINK TURKEY:
I have partnered with Canadian Turkey to make some amazing dishes this year. I love the fact that when you eat Canadian turkey, you’re supporting Canadian turkey farmers.
Turkey takes on flavours well across all cuisines – whether you’re cooking Mexican, Indian, Moroccan, Thai and more, there’s a place for turkey on your plate. This dish goes amazingly well with simple jasmine rice!
COOKING TURKEY:
I have mentioned this in my other turkey recipe as well but felt this might be useful.
I have had questions on cooking turkey and when it is done. The best way is to use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey, without touching the bone.
A whole unstuffed turkey is cooked at 170F (77C)
Ground turkey (Burgers, cutlets, meatballs, sausages) at 165F
Cuts (thigh, wings, and breast legs) at 165F again.
