The holidays bring with them thoughts of carving and serving delicious turkey dinner with family and friends. Tradition has its fans, but maybe this year to try a trip to your turkey recipe. If you have a gas grill and enjoy the smoky flavor of grilled meats, why not try cooking the turkey this year? Not only possible, it is quite simple. And it offers a delicious taste to your bird table. Also, having the turkey on the grill instead of oven lets all the space you need to make the rest of their meals in less time.
When you're ready to buy your turkey, the first thing to consider is the size of your grill. You do not want a bird that is so huge that it does not fit on the grid. Ideally, the turkey you select should sit on the grill and close the lid without touching the bird. If this is not possible, do not worry, you can still grill your turkey. You'll need some heavy aluminum foil and barbecue stand V-shaped or another metal cooking instrument that you can safely use to support opening the lid on the grill.
Prepare and stuff the turkey as usual. Put it on the grid so that it is placed over the burner, which can be turned off. Light the burner and the burner or other burners. Why you can not really flip a turkey, you want to cook Turkey indirect heat, rather than an open fire everywhere.
For smoke flavor using wood chips. If you have not used wood chips before they are easy to use. Can be immersed in water so that they dry heat from the grill, are free spirits seasoned with smoked turkey. You can buy a tray that is designed for putting wood chips on the grill or you can make yourself a piece of heavy aluminum. Take the chip out of the water and put in their own tray. Place the tray on the rack over the burner lights.
Then close the lid fully if possible. If it is not possible, prop the lid up just enough to keep him from touching the turkey. Then cover the rest of the opening of a sheet of aluminum. If the heat spell, you'll probably need to cook the turkey longer. But the film creates a barrier sufficient for the smoke kept circulating inside the grill and the aroma of turkey.
The time required to cook Turkey may vary depending on if you were not able to completely close your grill. If you can, it will take less time. If you can not, you can increase the heat on the burner or burners to try to compensate for the loss of heat by the obligation to keep open the gate. After a few hours, rotate the turkey 180 degrees to ensure even cooking.
As with any method of cooking poultry, it is important to ensure that the internal temperature of meat reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideally, you should use a meat thermometer, the temperature when cooking. If not, you must check the availability by striking the thigh with a fork or skewer. If the juices run out are clear and Turkey has done a nice golden color, so you're ready to remove it from the grid. Consider a glaze of sauce with other types of turkey meat, or possibly adding barbecue sauce to the traditional cranberry sauce as a condiment. Do not be afraid to experiment - enjoy the new twist that you put the old family tradition.
