Grill Your Bird!
- 10-12 lb whole turkey
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your grill for indirect medium-high heat. Mix sesame oil and minced garlic together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Wash out turkey with clear potable water and pat dry. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Return legs to tucked position. Brush turkey with oil and garlic mixtures. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
Place turkey, breast side up, on a metal grate inside a large metal roasting pan. Place your pan on the grill and cook your bird to an internal thigh temperature of 180 degrees and juices run clear. Baste your bird every 30 minutes with the juice that accumulates in the pan.
Remove turkey from grill and let stand 10 minutes before carving. Drain drippings from pan and use as a foundation for pan gravy, thickening with roux, additional seasonings and cream as needed.
