Anyone rotisserie a turkey on a gas grill?
Comments (5)this subject also answers the ? about if hi-end grills are worth it. i often do turkeys and find it is a real benefit to having an infra-red back burner. this is usually only found on lynx,viking, wolf, dcs, type grills. it is a vertical burner across the back. find a nice 14-15 lb turkey to put on a rotisserie. season the turkey with salt. put a pan under the turkey and make baste. 1 cup of Kahlua, 1 cup of water, and about 12oz. of apricot jam. mix baste and put in pan. cook only using back burner and baste every 15-20 min. turkey will take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. save all the dripping, remove add a little water and corn starch to thicken for your gravy for this fantanstic dark colored bird. if you prefer more of a golden colored bird , use amareeto and apple jelly instead. um good...See MoreGrill or no grill...that is the question!
Comments (9)Personally (just my opinion) I would skip the grill UNLESS you are willing to spend a decent amount of time and energy cleaning it. You will have to treat it like an outdoor grill, meaning 10-15 minutes warm up and 10-15 minutes afterward blasting the heat to burn off the grease. After that, you've got some clean up to do unless you want it looking all charred. Also, keep in mind that the heat output is not going to be fantastic on ANY residential indoor grill. You'll get about 500 degrees at the surface where a good charcoal or wood fire is about 1000 degrees. Now, that said, if grilling is a way of life and you want the option no matter what then the choice is clear! Just be clear on your expectations. -Stooxie...See MoreThe turkey is on the wood pellet grill....
Comments (13)Grill is the only way I've done a turkey in some time. Never timed mine just let the charcoal burn all the way out... probably 4-5 hours. Does not make a picture perfect turkey but a leg bone will pull off when it is done. Mine usually fall apart getting them off the grill... sorta gotta roll it into a pan. Boiling the bones and skin after you are done eating off it makes a fine broth. Broth is smokey so it makes fine bean soup. Strain it to get the skin and bones back out. : ) lyra...See MoreFree Yourself and Your Oven: Grill the Turkey
Comments (3)It is a cute story. Thanks for sharing. I think the first time I roasted a turkey on the grill was about 10 years ago. At the time I had a DCS gas grill that got quite hot. Even with the turkey in a pan over indirect heat with just one side turned on the temperature got up to over 600°F. HIgh heat roasting. Didn't take long to cook a 15 pound turkey. The grill I have now doesn't get as hot so it takes a little longer. You can do prime ribs and Yorkshire puddings on the grill too. Ann...See Morealexanndra
