THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY



The Greatest Grilled Turkey image

Although not very traditional, grilling turkey is the best way of cooking it -- it comes out tender and juicy every time! The turkey drippings may be used to prepare a gravy by placing a metal pan under the turkey inside the roasting pan, and mixing in about 1/2 cup water, adding more water as necessary to prevent the drippings from scorching. Remove the pan about 30 minutes before the turkey is done cooking.

Tips:

  • To ensure the turkey is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and 175°F (79°C) in the thigh.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the turkey dry before grilling. You can also brush it with melted butter or oil.
  • If you're using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they're white-hot before grilling the turkey.
  • To prevent the turkey from sticking to the grill, grease the grates well.
  • Cook the turkey over indirect heat, away from the coals or flames. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Baste the turkey with the cranberry BBQ sauce every 20 minutes or so to keep it moist.
  • Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
