Grilling turkey can rival traditional roasting, providing a unique smoky flavor and a satisfying crispy skin. Silvio Correa, a grill master, provides insights on how to make this happen, emphasizing the importance of using a roasting pan to catch drippings and prevent flare-ups. He also highlights the necessity of a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked properly, preventing both over and undercooking. Various flavor-enhancing techniques traditionally used for roasting can be adapted for grilling, enhancing the enjoyment of turkey beyond Thanksgiving.
You can grill the turkey directly on the grates, but using a roasting pan or a disposable aluminum tray with a rack will catch drippings and prevent flare-ups.
A good meat thermometer is essential to monitor the temperature accurately, ensuring your bird isn't overcooked or undercooked.
Any ingredients you might use to upgrade a roast turkey will work just as well for a grilled one, from beer brining to using mayonnaise for juiciness.
Most turkeys will take between 2 and 4 hours to cook on the grill, depending on the grill temperature and turkey size.
