Mr. Barbecue's Citrus Glazed Turkey
Mr. Barbecue’s Citrus Glazed Turkey
10-15 lb. Turkey (fresh or frozen)
Equal number of oranges, lemons, limes
Wash turkey in cold running water-after removing neck and giblets. Cut off the tail and neck protrusion.
Towel pat dry
Coat with olive oil inside and outside of bird
Peel fruit. Loosely stuff bird cavity with an equal number of orange, lemon and lime peels.
Sprinkle a light coat of Traeger Pork & Poultry Shake all over bird.
(Or make your own rub using Sage, coriander, thyme, black pepper,paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and ground parsley)
Start your grill and begin cooking bird at approximately 350 degrees. (Figure 20 minutes per pound @ 350 degrees F).
Citrus Glaze Mixture:
In a blender, liquefy the fruit, then strain. Add to a saucepan. Add 1/3 cup white sugar, stir over medium heat. Add jellied cranberry sauce if you desire, 2-4 table spoons.
Stir until thoroughly mixed. Allow to cool.
While turkey is cooking, lightly mist with apple juice or applejack. Mist inside and outside of the bird.
Wood Smoke:
Wait until the bird is warmed up before adding wood smoke. I prefer Apple and Alder. Hickory and Alder are also good. Cherry wood works too. Lightly smoke the turkey while it’s cooking-replenishing wood chips or chunks every 60 minutes or so.
Target temperature-measured at the breast 160 degrees. Pull off and allow to rest 15-20 minutes before carving. (Temperature of bird will continue to rise for 10 minutes by as much as ten degrees F.)
Reheat glaze mixture over medium heat. Dip, pour, or paint on the carved turkey meat.
Carve, give thanks, and enjoy!
