Turkey - Best Grilled Butterflied

• tutterflied turkey, skin on - make sure it's patted dry after washing
• t heads of garlic (you can use the pre-peeled cloves but not the pre-chopped)
• tRESH herbs by the double bunch: Sage, Thyme, maybe a little oregano, amended by some dried sage and thyme
• t fresh lemons
• teanut oil - about a cup and a half (you have a lot of turkey real estate to cover)
• tijon (grey poupon) mustard - a large jar
• tosher Salt and Pepper
• targe platter as a work surface and a large plastic bag for over night in the frig

1. Prep time incl. butterflying - about 1 hour
2. Cook time +/- 90 minS til skin is brown
3. N0T a "brine" recipe, but marinated overnight
4. Prep night before:
5. Chop garlic small (or mince large), if you use the pre-peeled, you'll need the whole pint container
6. Mix mustard + oil so that they're both well incorporated into a loose paste
7. Chop sage, thyme + parsley so you have a nicely sized pile -you can't have too much =it's ok to chop stems if they're not woody
8. These next steps you will repeat on both sides - you might need help to flip it over
9. Lay turkey out flat - skin side down, sprinkle liberally w/ kosher salt (I like the level of saltiness in kosher salt + it seems more organic but you can use table salt if you like)
10. Brush mustard oil mix on EVERY SURFACE
11. Sprinkle chopped garlic liberally
12. Sprinkle herbs liberally - if you need to - you can sprinkle dried thyme + sage as well)
13. Sprinkle whole thing w/ juice of a lemon, sprinkle w/ black pepper
14. Flip over, to skin side up + REPEAT
15. Roll the turkey up on itself, put it in a bag, seal + leave in frig over night
16. Thanksgiving - Using kettle/Weber type grill - adjust for gas
17. Make sure you have enough coals to fill grill bottom w/a solid base, in a Weber, open the UNDERNEATH holes + fire up the coals til they're red hot ( gas grill heat to 350 + maintain)
18. Make sure no flames shoot up
19. Lay turkey flat on grill, SKIN SIDE UP (all parts intact) + cover the grill. YOU WILL NOT FLIP IT -Skin will be perfect
20. Open cover holes slightly - there will be smoke coming out the top for the entire cooking time. Not sure if you can open holes on a gas grill - but if you can, you should
21. Cook it until the skin is evenly browned +/- 90 mins
