I just love having a nice barbecue Sunday with my family and friends. If you are anything like me, then you probably know how valuable this is and how cooking a nice turkey is much more than just a good meal. It involves companionship and friendship. So, to help you in that, I've came up with this small article with 6 steps to enhance your cooking experience. Let us get started!
1) Preparing the turkey: never cook a frozen turkey! You must thaw it fully before attempting to cook it. Then, what you need to do is to clean it by removing any extra skin, fat and giblets. Additionally, you may brine or marinate it to help you achieve the best flavor.
2) Go for indirect cooking. To have the best turkey to eat, you might want to try using indirect heat to cook it. The amount of heat used to cook your turkey will entirely depend on your barbecue grill size and how many burners you turn on.
3) Preheat your grill before cooking. This is extremely important because you would want to have the perfect temperature for you to cook before putting the turkey into the grill. The temperature that you want to have is around 350 degrees, and if it is possible, you can use the thermometer on your grill to set the right temperature automatically.
4) Using a smoker grill: adding some wood chips - they don't need to be soaked in water, but you can if you want - will further enhance the flavor and taste of your turkey.
5) Putting your turkey inside the grill. You should start from the breast side up, and leave it to cook for at least an hour. After that, you should start rotating the turkey several times every 45 minutes until it is finally done.
6) Grilling the turkey. The temperature that you should have when you are grilling your turkey is around 250 degrees. It is not recommended to have less heat when you are grilling. For some people, 300 degrees is a good temperature to grill the turkey as long as it is turned regularly every 45 minutes to make sure that the turkey is evenly cooked.
In addition to this, if you can manage to cook at lower temperature, your turkey will not only taste better, but you will also have a smoke grilled turkey with complete flavor, a nice scent, and the smoke smell in it. You would not want to miss it.
