BRINED, HERB GRILLED TURKEY



Brined, Herb Grilled Turkey image

I heard about brining from a couple of friends who like to cook and thought I'd try it out. I did some research on the web and came across this brining solution from Emeril. I have always grilled my turkeys with great results.

Time P1DT3h

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 oranges, quartered
4 lemons, quartered
9 sprigs fresh thyme
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 gallons cold water
1 (18 -24 lb) whole turkey
2 large oranges, cut into 1/8ths
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
salt and pepper
2 large yellow onions, cut into 1/8ths
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 bunch fresh sage
6 sprigs fresh parsley
2 cups turkey stock, for basting

Steps:

  • To make the brining solution, dissolve the salt and sugar in 3 gallons of cold water in a large clean, heavy-duty, food grade plastic storage bag. Add the oranges, lemons, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Rinse the turkey inside and out under cold running water. Soak the turkey in the brine, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse well under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels inside and out.
  • Place turkey, breast side up, in a large, foil roasting pan with a rack. Rub breast side with orange segments and rub on all sides with the butter, stuffing some underneath the skin.
  • Season lightly inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the turkey with the onion, remaining orange, celery, carrot, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley.
  • Loosely tie the drumsticks together with kitchen string. Grill the turkey, uncovered, breast side down for 1 hour.
  • Remove from the grill turn, and baste with 1/2 cup stock. Cover with foil and continue grilling with the breast side up until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the largest section of thigh about 3 to 3 1/2 hours total cooking time. Baste the turkey once every hour with 1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken or turkey stock.
  • Remove from the grill and place on a platter. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.

SUNNY'S BUTTERFLIED GRILLED TURKEY WITH LEMON PEPPER GLAZE



Sunny's Butterflied Grilled Turkey with Lemon Pepper Glaze image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 15h50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bunch fresh sage
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
One 14- to 16-pound turkey
1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks (half the size of dice)
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Zest and juice of 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup juice)

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine the sage, thyme, lemon, salt, peppercorns and 1 1/2 gallons water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the salt is dissolved and the water is fragrant. Turn off the heat and let cool completely.
  • Place the turkey in a roasting bag, large plastic bag or bowl large enough to fit it with still more space to give. Pour in the brining liquid and seal or cover. If there's not enough room for all of the liquid in the brine, be sure to at least include the herbs, lemon and peppercorns. Refrigerate at least overnight or up to 3 days. When ready to cook, remove from the refrigerator and discard all of the brining liquid and solids.
  • For the turkey: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Place the turkey cavity-side down on a wire rack resting in a roasting/baking dish and allow to sit on the countertop for about 2 hours to come to room temperature.
  • Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut the backbone of the turkey out and break the breastbone to open up and flatten the bird by gently pressing down with the skin-side up. Flip over and pat dry. Using your finger, gently release the skin from the muscle of the turkey and insert the butter pieces between the skin and meat all over the bird. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the skin with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the turkey over direct heat skin-side down. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and close the lid of the grill. Cook until the turkey releases from the grates and reveals grill marks, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Heat the olive oil and black pepper together in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Steep over medium heat until the oil smells and tastes like pepper, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the honey, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest and lemon juice to the same pan. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and slightly reduce. Remove from the heat and rest until it tightens a bit, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the turkey and glaze the skin with the lemon pepper glaze. Close the lid of the grill and continue to cook, glazing every 30 minutes, until an internal-read thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 160 degrees F, 1 to 2 hours. Remove the turkey form the grill and let rest at room temperature tented with aluminum foil for 30 minutes before carving.

GRILLED BRINED TURKEY



Grilled Brined Turkey image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 gallons water
3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons kosher salt
3/4 cup sugar
3 carrots, peeled and diced
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 bunch celery, diced
2 leeks, cleaned and diced
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 star anise
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh sage
1/2 bunch Italian parsley
4 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 8-10 pound whole turkey

Steps:

  • Bring 2 gallons of water to boil in a large stockpot. Stir in salt and sugar until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the diced carrots, onion, celery, leeks, spices and fresh herbs. Place the stockpot in refrigerator until cold.
  • Remove the giblets from the turkey. Add the turkey to the stockpot and place a plate on top to weigh the turkey down to insure full immersion. Refrigerate the whole turkey for 72 hours. Remove from brine and place the turkey in a large, disposable, aluminum-roasting pan. Allow the turkey to come to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, start the grill. When the coals are white hot, bank them up high along the perimeter of the grill so they form a circle. Place the roasting pan on the grill rack and cover with the lid. Control the temperature of the grill by opening and closing the vents. If the grill is too hot, close the vents slightly, but not all of the way. If the grill is too cold, open the vents. While the turkey is cooking, baste frequently with olive oil or butter and pan juices. It may be necessary to add more coals during the cooking process. If so, fire the coals in a cone separately and add them when they are hot.
  • It's important to know that brined turkeys cook more rapidly than un-brined turkeys. So you should check the internal temperature of the turkey after 1 1/2 hours grilling time. Remove the turkey from the grill when the deepest part of the thigh reaches 160 F. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving.
