Time 2h45m

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 to 24 ounces beer (in a can if using a beer-can turkey stand)
2 teaspoons spicy mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried chopped onion
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground smoked cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 9-to-10-pound turkey (thawed if frozen)
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F) on one side. Pour the beer into a turkey sitter (a ceramic stand that holds liquid). Or open the beer can, pour out a few tablespoons and place in a beer-can turkey stand.
  • Combine the mustard powder, garlic powder, dried onion, paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
  • Remove the neck, giblets and any excess fat from the turkey; discard. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the cavity with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Brush the outside of the turkey with the canola oil and place drumstick-end down on the sitter or stand. Rub the remaining spice mixture all over the turkey.
  • Place the turkey (on the sitter or stand) on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until the juices run clear and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 185 degrees F and 170 degrees F in the breast, 2 to 3 hours. Carefully remove the turkey from the grill, remove from the sitter or stand, and discard the beer. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

I'm intrigued by the idea of using a beer can to cook a turkey. I've never tried that before.

I'm not sure why this recipe is so popular. It's just a basic turkey recipe with a few extra steps.

This recipe is too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients involved.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey didn't turn out right. It was undercooked in the middle and overcooked on the outside.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was dry and tough, and the beer made it taste even worse.

I've tried a lot of turkey recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The beer can really makes a difference in the flavor of the turkey.

This recipe was a total hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The turkey was juicy and flavorful, and the beer added a subtle, delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
