THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY
Although not very traditional, grilling turkey is the best way of cooking it -- it comes out tender and juicy every time! The turkey drippings may be used to prepare a gravy by placing a metal pan under the turkey inside the roasting pan, and mixing in about 1/2 cup water, adding more water as necessary to prevent the drippings from scorching. Remove the pan about 30 minutes before the turkey is done cooking.

Steps:
- Rinse cavity of turkey with cool running water, and pat dry with paper towel. Place turkey, breast-side down, in a deep bowl or roasting pan. In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, and sugar; pour over turkey. Let marinate, refrigerated, at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Light a charcoal fire, and let it burn until the coals have become white ash. Alternatively, heat one side of a gas grill set on medium-high.
- Brush the entire turkey with the marinade. Place turkey on the grill, breast-side up, near but not directly over the coals, or on the side of the gas grill that is not turned on. Cook turkey with the grill lid closed until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the leg and breast is 180 degrees, about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Baste with the marinade every 30 to 45 minutes, rotating turkey a quarter turn each time. Add coals heated in a firestarter chimney as needed to maintain an even temperature.
- When the turkey is fully cooked, remove from the grill, and let sit for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with tomato-herb gravy, if desired, or additional barbecue sauce.

Steps:
- 1. For the brine: In a large stockpot, bring 6 quarts water, 1 1/2 cups salt, brown sugar, coriander, ginger, and bay leaves to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the salt and sugar are dissolved. While the brine is simmering, fill a bucket (or pot) big enough to hold a turkey with the ice. Pour the brine over the ice. When the brine has cooled, add the turkey. Place a heavy object like a plate or lid on top of the turkey to keep it submerged in the liquid. Brine in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- 2. For the sauce: Heat the vinegar and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir in the ketchup, honey, 1/4 cup salt, red pepper, and black pepper. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for passing at the table.
- 3. For the turkey: Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire for both direct and indirect grilling. Position a drip pan under the grate on the indirect side of the grill. Sprinkle the cavity of the turkey with salt and stuff with the celery, lemons, onions, and parsley, then tie the legs. Place the turkey breast-side up over the drip pan. Toss 1 cup of the soaked wood chips onto the coals. Cover the grill and rotate the lid so that the vent holes are directly over the meat. To maintain a medium-low smoky fire, add about a dozen pieces of charcoal and another cup of wood chips to the fire whenever the fire dies down. Rotate the turkey about every 45 minutes to prevent the side closest to the coals from overcooking.
- 4. After 1 hour, begin basting the turkey every 20 to 30 minutes with the remaining 2 1/2 cups of sauce. (Keep the grill covered between basting.) Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh, not touching the bone, registers 165 degrees F, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before carving.

BARBECUED TURKEY LEGS
Wishing you were at the game? Raise a giant drumstick -- in spirit -- with all the other Hawkeye football fans at the University of Iowa. These massive barbecued bird legs are a tailgating tradition at the black-and-gold school. Now you can make them at home with an easy dry brine that eliminates the need for submerging them in a big pot of salted water.

Steps:
- The day before, make a dry brine: Put 2 wire racks on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Mix together the sugar, chili powder, mustard powder, garlic powder, cayenne and 1/2 cup salt. Pat the turkey drumsticks dry. Put 2 drumsticks in a large shallow bowl and sprinkle generously with the dry brine, rubbing it into every nook and cranny. Transfer to one of the wire racks. Working in batches, sprinkle and rub the remaining drumsticks with the dry brine and transfer to the wire racks. Sprinkle the drumsticks on the racks with any remaining dry brine. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours and preferably up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the drumsticks, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through cooking, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer measures at least 200 degrees F, about 2 hours. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer the drumsticks to large re-sealable plastic bags. (The turkey can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-low or prepare a charcoal for medium-low indirect heat: bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results).
- Brush the grill grates with oil. Put the drumsticks on the grill (or indirect side if using charcoal) and cook, turning and basting with the barbecue sauce every 5 minutes, until the drumsticks are deep amber on the outside and heated through, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then wrap the exposed bone-end of each drumstick with foil and serve while warm.
BARBECUED TURKEY
Steps:
- Rinse the turkey inside and out, pat dry, and trim any excess fat. Place the turkey, breast side down, in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Season the inside of the cavity with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the sauce over the turkey and massage all over into the skin. Cover and let marinate, breast side down, refrigerated, for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
- About 1 hour before cooking, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and let the coals burn to gray ash with a slight red glow. Keep the coals on one side of the grill to create areas of direct and indirect heat (see Know-how, page 151); if using a gas grill, heat just one side on medium.
- Flip the turkey, breast side up, in the roasting pan and brush all over with the marinade in the bottom of the pan. Flip the turkey again so it is breast side down and place the pan over the indirect heat (the side without the coals), cover the grill with the lid, and cook for about 2 hours, basting the turkey every 30 minutes with the marinade on the bottom of the pan and rotating the pan a quarter turn each time.
- Use a fire-starter chimney to heat new coals; replenish the coals every hour or so, as needed, to maintain an even temperature of about 350°F (see Know-how, page 151).
- Flip the turkey, breast side up, in the roasting pan and continue to cook, rotate, and baste with the barbecue sauce 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer, until the skin is crisp and an internal thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads between 165°F and 170°F. Remove the turkey from the grill and let rest, loosely covered, for about 20 minutes before carving. Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
- Know-how: Grilling Basics
- Start a fire using a chimney starter (available at most home improvement stores) and hardwood charcoal, if available.
- Open the vents on the bottom of the grill.
- When the coals are lit and glowing red, dump them from the chimney onto one side of the grill and spread evenly on one side only.
- When the coals turn to gray with a red glow, they have reached their hottest point; the coals will begin to cool after that.
- If using a gas grill, set the grill on high for recipes that call for gray ash with a bright red glow; on medium for those that call for gray ash with a slight red glow; and on low for gray ash.
- Place the grate at least 6 inches above the coals and allow to get fully hot before grilling.
- To determine how hot the coals are, hold your hand above the grate, about 6 inches above the coals, and count how many seconds you can keep it there before it becomes uncomfortable: hot: 1 to 2 seconds; medium: 3 to 4 seconds; low: 5 to 6 seconds.
- To cook over direct heat, place the meat directly over the coals. Steak and fish are usually seared and should be placed over direct heat when the coals are at their hottest. If you are cooking something that takes longer, like chicken or pork, place it over direct, medium-hot heat to brown and crisp the skin, then move to the indirect heat until the coals die to low to finish cooking.
- To cook over indirect heat, move the meat to the side of the grill without the charcoal, but maintain the fire so the grill stays hot. Cover with the lid and open the vents.
- For slow-cooking dishes like Wood-Smoked Backyard Barbecued Pig (page 170), monitor the temperature using a thermometer. If your grill doesn't come with one, insert an instant-read thermometer in the grill vent to get a read on the temperature and try to maintain the temperature indicated in the recipe.
- To replenish the heat, prepare extra coals in a fire-starter chimney placed over a separate grill and add the hot coals to the hotter, charcoal side of the grill as needed.
- For information on grilling steak, see page 190.
