- ½ cup Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Asian Slaw:
- 4 handfuls finely chopped green cabbage
- 4 spring onions, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, finely sliced
- 4 radishes, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons neutral flavoured oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sweet chilli sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Method:
- Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity.
- Place the turkey on a board, breast side down. Using a sharp knife or strong kitchen scissors cut along either side of the back bone from the tail up to the neck and remove.
- Turn the turkey over and press firmly on the breast to flatten the turkey out as much as possible.
- Place the turkey in a baking dish with the rice wine, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon of five-spice. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- Heat a BBQ hot plate to approximately 180°C.
- Drizzle a little oil on the hot plate, lift the turkey from the marinade and cook for approximately 2 ½ hours, turning at times, until the turkey is well coloured and the thigh juices run clear when pierced with a skewer.
- While the turkey is cooking combine the hoisin sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and five-spice together in a small bowl. Brush the skin of the turkey with the hoisin glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking, taking care not to let it burn.
- Grill lime halves - if using - until just soft and well coloured.
- Serve turkey with fresh herbs, limes and an Asian style slaw.
Asian Slaw:
