There isn't much to this recipe, but a properly grilled turkey is by FAR the best tasting way to eat turkey.

My family has been grilling our turkeys for years.... Sometimes I brine it before hand, & other times we've injected it with seasoning or garlic butter.... and with all the modifications, it's always amazing; it's not about the seasoning, it's about the cooking process. I've got my oven to bake everything else & no turkey mess to clean up after thanksgiving. [:

I have never done a turkey on the bbq before but with a huge family gathering this Thanksgiving, room in the oven was pretty scarce! It took about an hour longer than forcast, but my turkey may not have been completely thawed. It was moist and beautiful, I stuffed it with chopped apples and wove a bacon mat to put on top. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This turkey was at least as good as fried, better than anything from the oven, and easy as can be! I brined the turkey overnight like I always do. Thanksgiving day I just put it on the grill with a pan underneath the grate to catch drippings. I added celery, apples and onions to some chicken stock in the pan. The best gravy ever! Freed up the oven for all the side dishes. My husband and kids loved it! I'll never bother with any other method again. This is a keeper you must try!

I brined first using Turkey Brine from this website. It took a little over 3 hours for a 16lb turkey on the electric grill. I tried to get it to 350 degrees but with it being cold out, it was around 300. I put it in a roasting pan so I could use the drippings for gravy. It was awesome and cooked really well!

Oh gosh this was so awesome!!! we stuffed the turkey with applesauce and apples and then followed the recipe. We had a little trouble keeping the temp at the right temp for the first like 20 min and then it was like everything came together and oh my goodness so moist, tender and full of flavor. I will never do a turkey in an oven again..this came out so good I think we will try it for my family Christmas!!

We had a turkey in the freezer we needed to use. Grilled it today using your method except put in on the grill on heavy duty foil. It was perfectly cooked! So very good. We will use this recipe again!

I'm a convert! Not only that but I'm singing your praises to everyone I know. I've never been a turkey fan but I loved this! My family was skeptical but I persisted and even they agreed that it was great having the oven available. But the best part, I got rave reviews on the taste. I put my turkey in a disposable pan, prepped it the same way I would if I were roasting it (olive oil, salt, pepper, sage, garlic, thyme)and put onions and celery leaves inside the bird. I added chicken broth to the pan and put it on the grill at medium heat. I ended up adding two additional cans of chicken broth to the pan and putting aluminum foil over the wing tips and in just over 4 hours our 15 pound turkey was perfect. What a wonderful discovery!
