1 (12 to 14 lb) whole turkey, thawed if frozen
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 lemon, halved
2 carrots, halved
4 celery stalks, halved
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)

THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY



The Greatest Grilled Turkey image

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.
