In this video, I will show you how to cook a fantastic Thanksgiving
turkey on your Kamado Joe Grill. This is not difficult to do and the
results are always outstanding! I started out with a 15-pound turkey,
completely thawed. I melted three sticks of butter and added 1/2
teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the
butter. I used a meat injector to inject that into the turkey. I also
loosened the skin on the turkey and rubbed McCormick's Montreal Chicken
seasoning under and over the skin. I quartered a large onion and
smashed five cloves of garlic to stuff inside the cavity along with 5
or 6 sprigs of fresh thyme. The cooking time on this particular cook at
350° worked out to 2 hours and 50 minutes. This time will vary from
bird to bird and could take up to 30-40 minutes longer.
** NOTE **
My experience with meat probes being used during a cook at this
temperature has been that the probe will end up reading a higher
temperature than the actual temperature in some cases due to heat from
the grill being radiated down the probe into the meat during the cook. I have experienced this issue with several different meat probe systems so it is not uncommon. Wrapping the exposed part of the probe and probe wire with foil MAY help the problem but there is no guarantee.
ALWAYS double check your probe with an instant read thermometer to make
sure you have reached at least 160-165 degrees in the thick part of the
breast!
