Time 3h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 10- to 12-pound turkey, excess fat trimmed and giblets removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 head garlic, halved
1 medium onion, quartered
3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons English-style dry mustard
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon minced dried orange peel
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups wood chips, such as hickory or mesquite, soaked in water for 30 minutes and drained

Steps:

  • Pat the turkey very dry, inside and out. Sprinkle the breast cavity with salt and pepper. Put the bay leaves, garlic and onion inside the cavity. Mix the brown sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic, mustard, paprika, ginger, orange peel, pumpkin pie spice, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pulse the rub in a spice grinder in a few batches until finely ground. Spread the Prairie Rub over the entire turkey.
  • Prepare an outdoor charcoal grill over a medium-high heat for both direct and indirect grilling. Position a drip pan under the grate on indirect side of the grill.
  • Put the turkey breast-side up over the drip pan. Toss 1 cup of the wood chips onto the coals. Cover the grill and rotate the lid so that the vent holes are directly over the meat. To maintain a medium-low smoky fire, add about a dozen pieces of charcoal and another cup of wood chips to the fire whenever the fire dies down. Rotate turkey about every 45 minutes to prevent the side near the coals from overcooking. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165 degrees F, 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves, garlic and onion before carving.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful rub to enhance the turkey's taste. The prairie rub used in this recipe combines paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for a smoky and savory flavor.
  • Brine the turkey overnight to keep it moist and juicy. A brine solution can be made with water, salt, and sugar, and can also include herbs and spices for added flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey, avoiding the bone.
  • Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
  • Serve the turkey with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy.

Conclusion:

Grilled turkey with prairie rub is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. The flavorful rub and moist, tender meat make this turkey a hit with everyone. Whether you're cooking for a special holiday meal or a casual weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to please.
