Citrus and herb-infused grilled turkey - a tender, juicy holiday delight, ideal for Thanksgiving dinner!
Ingredients:
  • 10- to 12-pound turkey, thawed if frozen
  • Salt and pepper, if desired
  • 1 large onion, cut into eighths
  • 2 small lemons, cut into fourths
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
Instructions:
  • For a charcoal grill, position the drip pan under the grilling area and distribute the coals around the edge of the firebox. Preheat the coals or gas grill for indirect heat.
  • Season turkey with a generous amount of salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with onion and lemons. Brush the entire turkey with oil and insert a barbecue meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
  • Combine butter and thyme, then generously brush over the turkey. Grill covered, breast side up, over indirect heat for 2.5 to 3.5 hours until the thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks are tender. For a charcoal grill, add 15 briquettes every hour. Rest the turkey for 15 minutes before carving, and don't forget to remove the onion and lemons.
