    Cut turkey into 1 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking. In a bowl, mix chili sauce, lemon juice, sugar, and bay leaves. Toss turkey cubes in the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to develop flavor.

    Watch out

    Ensure the turkey is fully submerged in the marinade to absorb maximum flavor.
