INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 pounds turkey thighs, skinned and excess fat removed

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