GRILLED BUTTERFLIED TURKEY - THE BEST
Steps:
- Prep time incl. butterflying - about 1 hour Cook time +/- 90 minS til skin is brown N0T a "brine" recipe, but marinated overnight Prep night before: Chop garlic small (or mince large), if you use the pre-peeled, you'll need the whole pint container Mix mustard + oil so that they're both well incorporated into a loose paste Chop sage, thyme + parsley so you have a nicely sized pile -you can't have too much =it's ok to chop stems if they're not woody These next steps you will repeat on both sides - you might need help to flip it over Lay turkey out flat - skin side down, sprinkle liberally w/ kosher salt (I like the level of saltiness in kosher salt + it seems more organic but you can use table salt if you like) Brush mustard oil mix on EVERY SURFACE Sprinkle chopped garlic liberally Sprinkle herbs liberally - if you need to - you can sprinkle dried thyme + sage as well) Sprinkle whole thing w/ juice of a lemon, sprinkle w/ black pepper Flip over, to skin side up + REPEAT Roll the turkey up on itself, put it in a bag, seal + leave in frig over night Thanksgiving - Using kettle/Weber type grill - adjust for gas Make sure you have enough coals to fill grill bottom w/a solid base, in a Weber, open the UNDERNEATH holes + fire up the coals til they're red hot ( gas grill heat to 350 + maintain) Make sure no flames shoot up Lay turkey flat on grill, SKIN SIDE UP (all parts intact) + cover the grill. YOU WILL NOT FLIP IT -Skin will be perfect Open cover holes slightly - there will be smoke coming out the top for the entire cooking time. Not sure if you can open holes on a gas grill - but if you can, you should Cook it until the skin is evenly browned +/- 90 mins
