Grilling a turkey can be a fantastic way to prepare a juicy and flavorful bird for your family! Here’s a simple recipe to help you achieve great results. Grilled Turkey Recipe

* Ingredients:

- 1 whole turkey (10-12 pounds), thawed

- 1/2 cup olive oil or melted butter

- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

- 2 tablespoons salt

- 1 tablespoon black pepper

- Optional: your favorite BBQ rub or seasoning

*Instructions:

1. *Prepare the Turkey**:

   - Remove the turkey from the packaging, and take out the giblets from the cavity. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.

2. *Make the Marinade**:

   - In a bowl, whisk together olive oil or melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. If you’re using a BBQ rub, add it to the marinade.

3. *Marinate the Turkey**:

   - Brush the marinade all over the turkey, including under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.

   - For best results, let the turkey marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

4. *Prepare the Grill**:

   - Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using a charcoal grill, set up for indirect grilling by placing coals on one side.

5. *Grill the Turkey**:

   - Place the turkey breast-side up on the grill grates over indirect heat.

   - Close the lid and grill for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and thigh. Baste the turkey with the remaining marinade every 30 minutes for added flavor and moisture.

6. *Rest and Serve**:

   - Once cooked, remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

   - Carve and serve with your favorite sides!

* Tips:

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.

- For extra flavor, add a few wood chips (like apple or hickory) to the grill for a smoky taste.

- Consider using a turkey brine beforehand for added moisture.

Enjoy your delicious grilled turkey with family!
