1 15-20 pound turkey

Salt and pepper

vegetable oil

onions, rough chopped

2 stalks celery cut into 2 inch pieces

2 limes quartered

1 lemon quartered

1 orange and apple quartered

1 quart water

1-1/2 sticks butter

1 lemon thinly sliced

Preheat charcoal grill to medium heat with most of coals on end opposite where turkey will

be sitting directly over. Wash and rinse turkey, removing giblets. Dry with absorbent towels,

and season inside of turkey with salt and pepper. Rub outside of bird with oil. Stuff with

onions, celery, orange, apple, 2 limes and the 1 lemon quartered. Completely fill cavities to

keep turkey moist. Melt butter in roasting pan, add water and sliced lemon (add more

lemon juice if desired). Cover turkey tightly (crimp edges) with aluminum foil, and cook over

grill for 4 to 6 hours, removing foil and adding smoker chips for last hour or so.

Alternatively, stuff the bird and then cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350F oven for 6-7

hours. Source: Loren Martin, Cyberealm BBS Posted to the BBQ List by Carey Starzinger on
