This basic marinade is the perfect alternative to the traditional brining of your turkey because it doesn't overpower the flavor of the bird. Instead, it provides a protective layer for the grill, while still adding some subtle flavors, with seasonings like dried oregano, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire and white vinegar. This recipe makes enough marinade for a 12 to 16 pound turkey.

1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) light cooking oil
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) lemon juice
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) white vinegar
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) dried oregano
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) salt
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) black pepper
