I have never grilled a turkey before and was realy worried it wouldnt work. But I wanted to keep my house cool so I tried it. It was amazing! I took the spices and rubbed them all over the turkey before I seared it - then I added an extra two cups of water to the pan when I put it in. The drippings mixed with the spices and turkey juice made the most decadant gravy!! My turkey was about 13 pounds but it finished in about 3 hours. The temp guage on my grill read a steady 400 the whole time. When I lifted the lid to check the turkey it had gently stewed in its own juices and spices! It fell apart - not a pretty turkey - but so moist and tender and flavorful - my ex-husband even commented on how wonderful it was and he is a man of few compliments! The kids raved about it - and the next day turkey sandwhiches too! I can't wait to try it again with a few chickens and play with the spices a bit too! We will be grilling our turkeys from now on!

This was the best turkey I have ever made! It cooked in only 3 hours and was a 15lb turkey, or a bit less, and though I added extra broth after reading the past reviews, it still burned up (still was moist and delicious!) maybe cooking over a lower heat for a longer time? Anyone tried this?

I brined it the night before with some of the same seasonings - I wanted to make sure my turkey had a lot of flavor and was not dry (like every other turkey I've made). The turkey was super moist, even though it caught on fire while my husband was browning it because he wasn't paying attention! Still turned out great.

Turkey turned out pretty good. It definately helps to brine it the day before. The only thing is that the drumstick and wings can get a little dry. Also, I found that the drippings ended up burning up a bit. Otherwise the turkey was good and it did help free up space!

I have grilled our Thanksgiving turkey for the last three years and our bird will never go in the oven again. This recipe is great to get you started; I suggest stuffing the cavity with celery & onion and using salt and pepper to flavor the bird in addition to the other seasonings. I also loosely covered the breast for the first two hours of cooking to keep it moist and took the foil off for the last hour. I cooked a 15 pounder and it took about 3 1/2 hours on the grill. Let the bird sit for 30 minutes before you carve it and you will have meat that will knock your socks off! **Note that the layer of meat below the skin will be pink, some people think the meat is not done but it's what happens when you use the grill!

My gas grill, at 350 degrees, was too warm for the "marinade" and burn it up in the first 35 minutes. I had squeezed some over the top prior, so still had some of the flavor. It seemed ~2 hours at 300 degrees for my 3lb breast roast would have been about right.

It was wonderful having the oven free for other cooking. I'll be grilling my turkey from now on!

made this last year for turkey day and it was delish. will definteley make this year

This is the first time I've ever done a turkey for Thanksgiving. It came out perfect. I tried it again the year after, once again, it never failed me. Will do it again for the holidays from now on

this was my first whole turkey ever,so i was a little leary, but it turned out amazing! the meat was so moist and flavorful. the only thing i didn't have was poultry seasoning, so i added a little montreal chicken seasoning. excellent recipe, i don't think i will ever cook a turkey in my oven!

I have made dozens of turkeys in my life. I have never made a bad turkey. This time I wanted to try to grill a turkey, since I absolutely hate to heat the oven in the summer. This was absolutely the best turkey that I ever made. I made it just like the recipe calls for and it was just PERFECT!!! I can honestly say that I have never made a better turkey! NEVER! I did need to add more water periodically, but that is the ony change. THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!

I personnally would only give this three stars, but everyone loved it. It smelled great and was very easy to prepare, but I didn't think it had much flavor. However, what little leftovers there were, they were better the next day.

Made this for New Years Eve Party 2005 - It was easy to do even for a first time turkey griller, meat practically fell off the bone it was so juicy, everyone loved it!

This turkey was the best turkey we've ever had for Thanksgiving!!! It's so good that we're having it for Christmas! I suggest to inject it's own juices at the end while you're letting it cool!

This is a nice mixture of spices for turkey no matter how you cook it. We usually just season the bird inside and out (no bouillon powder, of course), toss some cut garlic, onion, and celery into the cavity, and charcoal grill directly on the charcoal grill with no roasting pan, and not covered (but do use the indirect heat method). You'll get a bit more of the 'grilled' flavor that way.

Greatest way to cook a turkey...grill it. This one is easy and tastes great.

This was awesome! If there were 6 stars, I'd give it--we stood around the bird and munched it like barbarians. I love turkey but hate heating up the oven in the Summer. This will be our new turkey recipe. We would suggest a low sodium boullion...the broth was really too salty to make into gravy (but was great for dipping). Also, it only took 2 hours for our 12 lber, so wathch that it doesn't get overdone.

I used the seasonings in this recipe for the pan juices and basting. We smoked our turkey, and it was the best ever.

I tried this recipe last year and it was wonderful!!! i was so happy to this web site, because we will do our turkey this way again for this year!!!

I tried this on New Years Day! This is the easiest way to cook a turkey ever. It was easy, fast and delicious!
