For Thanksgiving this year I tried my hand at roasting a turkey on the grill. The resulting bird was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, and only took a few minutes longer than roasting it in the oven.

We just started using one recently and it’s amazing how evenly it cooks the bird, since it allows air to circulate around the entire turkey.
