Instructions
- Place the garlic and onions inside the turkey and rub the outside of the turkey with seasoning. Put the turkey in a large aluminum baking pan or Hasty-Bake baster pan. Fill the pan with ¼” to ½” of the basting liquid of your choice. Make sure the heat deflector is in place over the coals and bring your Hasty-Bake to about 200°F. Cover the breast of the turkey with a flourcloth or cheesecloth soaked in olive oil, butter or bacon grease. Baste the bird about every 30 minutes-it is important that you don’t let the turkey dry out.
- Smoke the turkey approximately ½ hour per pound, plus one additional half hour. You will need to refresh the supply of hardwood charcoal about every 1 to 1 ½ hours. Small amounts of fruit wood, such as apple or cherry, may be added to the fire to give your turkey a stronger smoke flavor. To test for doneness, use an Insta-Read thermometer. The thickest part of the breast should be 165°F.
- Note: To have a picture-perfect bird, you should remove the flourcloth or cheesecloth to brown the breast about 30 minutes prior to removing the turkey from the grill.
