Thanksgiving: Cajun Grilled Turkey
Source of Recipe
Taste of the South (October / November 2011)
List of Ingredients
- 1 (12-pound) turkey, thawed; giblets removed
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- Garnish: pomegranates and fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Spray grill with nonstick, non-flammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400° to 450°). Turn off one burner to create area for indirect grilling.
- Rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Rub turkey with oil. Rub seasoning evenly over turkey. Fold wings under turkey breast. Cover ends of turkey legs with foil.
- Place turkey, breast side down, on grill. Grill, covered with grill lid, over direct heat until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180° F, 3 to 4 hours, turning every 30 minutes. Move turkey from direct heat to indirect heat, as necessary, to prevent overbrowning.
Garnish with pomegranates and fresh rosemary, if desired.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
