Nigerian peppered turkey is one of my favourite Nigerian meat recipes; that’s second to smoked turkey though…If you haven’t tried smoked turkey, you’re missing out. I remember sneaking out the back gate in high school with other adventurous classmates to go buy peppered turkey from two brothers who made some out-of-this world peppered turkey behind our school. In fact, I believe a substantial amount of my pocket money in senior school went to back gate turkey escapades.
Fastforward to present day, and my love for turkey is still waxing strong. Overall I prefer turkey to chicken and just love the texture. This peppered turkey recipe can be adapted to suit your taste buds, feel free to give it a hotter or “spicy flavour” – according to my Canadian brethren. Either way you can’t go wrong if you follow the recipe as is.
This pepper marinade can also be modified and used to make peppered meat versions for chicken, beef and snail. So let’s get to the recipe.
