What to do:

PEANUT SAUCE:

TURKEY MARINADE:
1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or in a sealable plastic bag.
2. Add turkey tenders and marinate, refrigerated for several hours.

GRILLING:
1. Remove tenders from marinade and discard marinade. Allow tenders to slightly drain.
2. Grill turkey tenders, by the indirect grilling method, until cooked through to an internal temperature of 170°F, turning the tenders so all sides receive grill marks.
