  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the marinade will be. Use fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Turkish marinade. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and ratios to find a combination that you like.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the meat marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't marinate the meat for more than 24 hours, or it will start to become tough.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make a smooth marinade: This will help to evenly distribute the flavors of the marinade throughout the meat.
  • If you're using a yogurt-based marinade, be sure to use full-fat yogurt: This will help to keep the meat moist and tender.
  • When grilling, baste the meat with the marinade every few minutes: This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
