Holidays bring thoughts carving and serving delicious turkey dinners to your family and friends. Tradition has its fans, but maybe this year you want to try to twist your turkey recipe. If you have a gas grill and enjoy the smoky taste of grilled meats, why not try grilling your turkey this year? Is not only possible, it is quite simple. It offers a delicious taste to your bird table. Also, with Turkey instead of grill oven that leaves you with plenty of room to prepare the rest for dinner in less time.
When you're ready to buy the turkey, the first thing to consider is the size of the grid. You do not want a bird that is so large that it does not fit on the grid. Ideally, the turkey you select should sit on the grill and the lid should close without touching the bird. If this is not possible, do not worry, you can still grill your turkey. You will need a heavy duty aluminum foil and a grid of V-shaped stand or another metal cooking instrument that you can safely use the proposal to open the grill cover.
Prepare the turkey and other things as you usually would. Place on the grill, it is placed on a burner that you can disable. Now turn burns and the burner or burners. Since you can not really flip a turkey, you want Turkey to cook over indirect heat, not by a direct flame underneath.
You get the smoke flavor using wood chips. If you did not use the chips before they are easy to use. You soak them in water to dry from the heat of the grill, they'll release a flavored smoke that infuses the turkey. You can buy a tray that is designed to put wood chips on the grill, or you can make one yourself from heavy-duty foil. Take the chips out of the water and place them in your drawer. Place the plate on the rack over the burner on.
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 to check temperatures while cooking. If not, then you have to check the availability pressing the thigh with a fork or a skewer. If the juices are flowing and clear now that the turkey is golden brown, then you are ready to remove from the grill. Consider glazing the turkey with a sauce used in other types of meat, or possibly adding barbecue sauce to the traditional cranberry sauce as a condiment. Do not be afraid to experiment - enjoy the new twist is put on a family tradition.
