To help you achieve great barbecued turkey, following are some tips to use as guidelines:
- To prevent sticking, rub your barbecue grill lightly with oil or use a non-stick vegetable spray while the grill is cold…
- Never pierce the turkey part with a fork. Instead, turn it with a spatula or tongs to keep juices in…
- Brush the glaze only during the last 15 – 20 minutes of cooking time to prevent burning…
- When barbequing, always remember to use a good set of long oven mitts and utensils made especially for barbequing…
- Cool weather and windy or damp conditions are factors, which may lengthen the cooking times of the turkey…
- When barbecuing a whole turkey, do not stuff, place turkey in pan or grill and close lid (opening lid will increase cooking times). Use medium heat on your barbeque.
- Your (unstuffed) turkey is cooked when the thermometer reaches 170°F or 77°C.
