THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY
Although not very traditional, grilling turkey is the best way of cooking it -- it comes out tender and juicy every time! The turkey drippings may be used to prepare a gravy by placing a metal pan under the turkey inside the roasting pan, and mixing in about 1/2 cup water, adding more water as necessary to prevent the drippings from scorching. Remove the pan about 30 minutes before the turkey is done cooking.

Steps:
- Dissolve the salt and sugar in 2 gallons cold water in a large (at least 16 quart) stockpot or a clean bucket. (You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or bay leaf, or aromatics like onions and garlic.)

- Remove the turkey from the brine 1 hour before grilling. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry to remove the salt.
- Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect grilling. The temperature inside the grill should be 350 degrees F.
- Place the turkey on the grill, cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 175 degrees F, 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 1/2 hours. Let the turkey rest 1 hour before carving.

TURKEY ON THE GRILL
Steps:
- Remove neck and giblets; reserve for other uses. Remove and discard excess fat. Rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry. Season body cavity with salt and pepper. Tie legs together and twist wing tips under back. Brush turkey with oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange turkey breast side up, in center of cooking grate. Place lid on grill.
- Cook 11 to 13 minutes per pound or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh not touching bone registers 180 degrees and the juices run clear. Transfer turkey to a platter. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
- Method for the Charcoal Kettle Grill: Open all vents on the grill. Use charcoal dividers to hold the charcoal briquettes. Divide the briquettes evenly, place them in the dividers and place the dividers on either side of the charcoal grate, as close as possible to the outside edges. Ignite the briquettes and, keeping the lid off, let them burn until lightly covered with a gray ash, about 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary, use long-handled tongs to rearrange the briquettes so the coals will burn evenly on both sides. Place a foil drip pan on the charcoal grate between the baskets of coals. Put the cooking grate in place, positioning the hinged sides of the grate over the briquettes so that more charcoal can be added easily. Arrange the bird breast side up in the center of the cooking grate. Place lid on the grill, leaving all vents open, and grill as directed above. Add briquettes as indicated on the chart below at the end of each hour to maintain the heat.
- Charcoal Briquette Guide for Kettle Grill: For a 26 3/4-inch grill, use 30 briquettes on each side for the first hour of grilling and add 9 briquettes to each side every hour to maintain heat.
- For a 22 1/2-inch grill, use 25 briquettes on each side for the first hour of grilling and add 8 briquettes to each side every hour to maintain heat.
- For an 18 1/2-inch grill, use 20 briquettes on each side for the first hour of grilling and add 7 briquettes to each side every hour to maintain heat.
- Method for the Gas Barbecue: Ignite the grill and turn all burners to high. Close the lid and preheat 10 to 15 minutes to bring the grill to 500 to 550 degrees. Turn burners down to medium heat. Place turkey breast side up in a roast holder inside a foil drip pan. Position pan in the center of the cooking grate and place the lid on the grill. For three burner grills, set front and back burners to medium and turn off center burner. For two burner grills, turn the front and back burners to medium. Keep grill covered.

Steps:
- Two to three days before roasting: Begin thawing the turkey in the refrigerator or in a cooler kept at 38 degrees F.
- Combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, and candied ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.
- The night before or early on the day you'd like to eat: Combine the brine, water and ice in the 5-gallon bucket. Place the thawed turkey (with innards removed) breast side down in brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure it is fully immersed, cover, and refrigerate or set in cool area for 8 to 16 hours, turning the bird once half way through brining.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Remove the bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine.
- Place the bird on roasting rack inside a half sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Add steeped aromatics to the turkey's cavity along with the rosemary and sage. Tuck the wings underneath the bird and coat the skin liberally with canola oil.
- Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30 minutes. Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Set the thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees F. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil or a large mixing bowl for 15 minutes before carving.
BAJA CALIFORNIA GRILLED (OR ROASTED) TURKEY
Every year we get a turkey for the holidays from my DBF's employer. I love traditionally roasted turkey, but this year I decided to do something different. I couldn't have been happier with the results. This meat is so moist and flavorful, it got rave reviews from everyone who tried it. The turkey is brined, marinated, and then grilled or roasted in the oven. The recipe calls for a bone-in turkey breast and legs - I just cut my turkey into parts. You will also need a plastic bucket or stainless stockpot (nothing galvanized) plus six frozen ice gel packs to keep the turkey cold while marinating or room in your fridge. From Baja Cooking on the Edge. The 5 hour prep time includes the time the turkey is in the brine.

Steps:
- Combine the brine ingredients in a 5-gallon bucket and stir until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Put the gel packs in the brine. Completely submerge teh turkey pieces in teh brine and weight with a lid and a foil-wrapped brick to keep it under the surface. Marinate for 4 hours - no longer!
- Make the marinade: Chop the garlic to a paste with the salt and chipotles. Stir in the oil, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add the ground chile, cumin, oregano, and granulated garlic. Stir in the orange juice and cilantro to make a paste the consistency of sour cream. Thin, if necessary, with a little more orange juice.
- After 4 hours, remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry. Rub the marinade all over the turkey.
- Heat the grill to medium hot. Grill the turkey pieces on all sides for about 30 minutes (total) until you have nice grill marks and the spices are cooked. I used my grill pan for this step). Turn off one side of the grill and move the turkey pieces to a disposable aluminum pan on the cooler side. Brush with more of the marinade, close the lid, and cook with the burner on medium (325 - 350 degrees) for about 1 hour, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the breast.(Alternatively, transfer the turkey to a 350 degree oven.).
- Brush the turkey with the marinade twice more during cooking. If the turkey starts to turn black, cover with foil. Discard the marinade.
- Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving. Reserve the pan juices for sauce.

GRILLED WHOLE TURKEY
This is best done on a large gas grill fitted with a thermometer - it's more labor-intensive to keep a charcoal grill at a constant high heat. You'll need a disposable roasting pan large enough to fit the turkey on a V-rack.

Steps:
- Remove any feathers and quills with pliers (kosher turkeys tend to require this more than others).
- Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly in turkey cavities and all over skin. Fold neck skin under body and, if desired, secure with metal skewer, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
- Preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then turn off 1 burner (middle one if there are 3). Put turkey on oiled rack in roasting pan and add 2 cups water to pan. Set pan over turned-off burner and close lid immediately (temperature drops quickly when lid is lifted). Grill, adjusting burner or burners to maintain 450°F and rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through grilling, until thermometer inserted in fleshy part of each thigh registers 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours. Time could be longer in cold weather. Avoid opening lid often because of rapid heat loss.
