openrecipes
The first Thanksgiving turkey was most likely cooked over a wood fire. Today’s grilling enthusiasts have the benefit of modern equipment and techniques with which to improve upon our national holiday bird. Here, the turkey is brined before grilling to add flavor and enhance the juiciness. A compound butter boosts the taste even more.
