There is so much versatility with outdoor kitchens that once you start working with them, you’ll wonder how you ever did anything without the grill.  There are an infinite number of new taste combinations that are suddenly available to you.  With a little time, you’ll become knowledgeable in all sorts of cooking techniques that make incredible foods.  You’ll also come to learn that grilling is not just about meat, but also applies to vegetables and fruits, even desserts.  There are unexpected taste combinations in grilling, but also unexpected foods that can be grilled, like the holiday turkey.

It may seem odd to some to consider cooking that large bird in your outdoor kitchen, but a little investigation will reveal that there are many who would never consider anything else.  There is a considerable advantage in grilling a turkey on the barbecue, namely, that it frees up all that space in the kitchen.  But it also makes some unique tastes in the turkey meat, cooks a bird that is always juicy, and, with a little skill, takes less time than the conventional oven.

For most recipes for grilling a turkey, the idea is to use indirect heat.  This method of cooking on the grill uses the heat to surround the turkey, rather than cooking it directly over the red-hot flame.  This helps to cook the meat thoroughly, and to penetrate to the interior of the bird.  It also allows for a slower cooking method that will help to keep the meat thoroughly juicy, and to let the flavors seep deeply into the flesh.  There are different ideas for seasoning, and, although using your great-grandmother’s recipe will always put a smile on everyone’s face, it’s also wise to experiment with new flavors.  Cooking in an outdoor kitchen can be as much about ingenuity as tradition, and a blend of each will have the neighbors wondering how they got to be so lucky to live so close to heaven.
