Bar-B Que Turkey Take a 12-15 lb turkey and cut it in half with a hack saw, actually easier if frozen, but not rock hard (or get them to do it at the grocery store). Place cut side down on 325-350 degree grill, I prefer charcoal, gas will work, for app. 3 hours. Turn over and tear meat open with forks and start laying on and in the bar-b-q sauce. Sauce every 15 minutes or so. Cook for 1 more hour. Remove and pull meat apart, add more sauce and serve. If you have an injector, load that turkey up before you put it on the grill. The sauce shouldn't be too thick (like Kraft's) or too thin (like a pig sauce),and is a matter of personal taste, but for a store bought sauce, George's (Mild or Hot, I prefer the Hot) is hard to beat and available at Clayton Food Town by the gallon for $10 and change. I keep a gallon under my counter. I have a recipe that I was given by the man that taught me to cook a turkey on the grill, and I will pass it along if anyone wants it and I can find it. George's is just too easy and too good! Finger lickin' good!!! Beats a fried turkey hands down!!! (IMHO) 8)
Emeril Lagasse made this today on GMA and it looked good! Anything cooked in bacon "drippings" has to be good! http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Recipes/recipe?id=12206765
