Bar-B-Q Turkey

Simple is the best. Since you are not stuffing it, I would suggest getting real mesquite charcoal, getting a nice fire going. Stuff butter, salt and ppper under the skin. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil after putting fresh rosemary, thyme and sage under the tinfoil. Use a meat thermometer. uncover at 120 degrees to brown the skin. Pull off at 165 and wrap tightly. Wait til thermometer says 175 or so (it will continue to cook after its pulled) sllice and serve.

Sorry for any misspellings, Im loaded tonight


This is a good plan to follow, but one suggestion I would make is to pull the turkey at 155 instead of 165 and let the residual heat do the rest of the cooking. I would worry that if the turkey is not brined the lean breast meat could dry out at 175. And for a bit more detail on time and temperature, I would suggest cooking in a 250 degree grill over indirect heat. A standard 7-8 pound bone-in turkey breast should take 2 to 2 1/2 hours to get to temperature.
