I'm giving the delicious relish the 5 stars-the turkey was a bit average. No fault of yours though, turkey is not common in Australia, and not done well by the supermarket. Also it's winter here, and we cooked this under the broiler rather than BBQing it. I have to say the flavour of the turkey was outstanding, (loved the basil on it), but just a bit chewy. I think that the relish will turn up often here on more than turkey. I can't wait to eat it again!
