I can't believe Tyson gave that girl VD.


We are hosting Thanksgiving, and I will be grilling a 21lb turkey. I have done breasts before, but never the full bird. Any tips?

Charcoal. Gas grills are for betas.

I'd be worried about consistent temperature and really drying out the bird.

Butter under the skin will help to prevent the bird from getting dry.

I want to see this grill that fits a 21 pounder

Normal sized charcoal grill using indirect heat.

I presume a bit of brine time will help as well. So long as you're good at indirect grilling/smoking, you'll be fine if you go slowly, it's not that difficult

I would also recommend cooking a smaller bird. Larger birds are tougher to cook thoroughly without drying them out.

Leash tells his boyfriends the same thing.

First time prep shouldn't be done on thanksgiving. Get a smaller one for grilling as a tester and cook the main bird traditionally

No, I don't. They already know the drill.

Normally I would agree, but first time prep is good for the in laws.

Thanks everyone!

Butter under the skin and weave a mat of bacon to drape over the top of it.

COOKS JUST FINE

I'd agree with this.

I think you'd be better off doing two 13 lb-ers.

Either way, good luck.

If you are doing it for Thursday, my first piece of advice is to start thawing it in the fridge three days ago.

Secondly, I would be on board with smoking it for an hour/hour and a half and then transporting it into an oven. It will make the day easier for you.

We have a convection oven that is too small for a turkey. Its been in the fridge since Friday morning, in hopes that it should be thawed enough to brine on Wednesday.
