Spiced & Grilled Turkey image

My fiance loves to grill, so for the holidays we decided to grill our turkey instead of deep frying it. It was the best we'd ever tasted! Having the brine in the pan under the turkey catches the drippings, but also keeps everything nice and moist. Start with the breast down, then flip to the other side. -Sydney Botelho, Columbia, South Carolina

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

The turkey was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I will try brining the turkey next time to see if that helps with the dryness.
