Roast Turkey; Stuffing Balls - Weber GENESIS Manual

Roast turkey

Roast/indirect medium heat 190 - 230°C
10 mins prep - 2.5 hours cook
Serves: 8
Ingredients
5 to 6 kg turkey
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat barbecue for indirect cooking. While the
barbecue is preheating, remove the turkey from
the fridge.
Dry the skin of the turkey with paper towel. Rub
the skin with olive oil and season with salt and
pepper.
Wrap the wing tips with foil to prevent them
getting too dark.
Once the barbecue has preheated turn burner 2
OFF and burners 1 and 3 down to TWO NOTCHES
LESS THAN HIGH (HIGH -2).
Place the turkey in the centre of the grill. Close
the lid and cook for 2 to 2 ½ hours depending on
the size of the bird.
Remove the turkey from the barbecue and allow
to rest for 30 minutes.
To calculate the cooking time for a turkey, allow
for 20 minutes, plus an additional 20 minutes
per kilo. For example, for a 5 kg turkey allow
20 minutes plus 5 x 20 minutes for a total of 120
minutes.
