- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 lbs turkey, half of turkey
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chunked
- 4 carrots, washed and sliced
- 1/2 cup celery, optional 1 inch chunks
- 1/2 cup turkey broth or 1/2 cup sub chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method
- Mix first 8 ingredients together in small dish, put onion, carrots, and celery in center of foil pan that you plan on using for grilling or roasting; sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of seasoning mixture onto vegetables, add turkey broth.
- Rinse bird inside and out; pat dry.
- Try to loosen up some of the skin.
- Mix together olive oil and lemon juice; rub onto turkey.
- Sprinkle inside, outside, and under skin of bird with the remaining seasoning mixture.
- PUT TURKEY CUT SIDE DOWN IN FOIL PAN AND REFRIGERATOR FOR ONE HOUR . (Try to get veggies covered by the turkey so that the flavors can saturate the meat a bit).
- Prepare grill: all grill vents (including the cover) are OPEN. (Our grill has 3 vents on bottom and 1 on the lid, open them all up).
- Put 50 briquettes in grill.
- Set grate in place.
- Allow the coals to glow red hot, then change into a light coating of gray ash, which might take about 35 minutes, with the temperature reaching 350°F (medium heat) or so that your hand cannot tolerate the heat for more than 2 seconds-w/o touching grate, of course.
- Put foil pan onto grate; close 2 of the 3 bottom vents, COVER with grill cover that has its 1 vent HALFWAY OPEN.
- Grill for about 90 to 120 minutes, or until the meat thermometer temperature is 165 degrees F. (Allow 15 to 18 minutes per pound).
- Start checking 25 minutes before the minimum amount of cooking time. (If parts of the turkey begin to get dark before the bird is done, drape those areas with foil.).
- Remove turkey from grill and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
