Feature Recipe: Maple BBQ Turkey
(Printable Recipe Card)
- 12 - 14 lb Turkey or large roasting chicken
- 1 ½ cups Everything Maple BBQ sauce (or Yikes! for more heat)
- 1 cup of water
Method: Make a pocket between the skin and the flesh of the bird, by sliding your hand between the layers –the deeper the pockets, the better… as always! Fill the pockets with our Maple BBQ sauce.
Cook on a vertical roaster - if possible - but an empty soda can will work as well (just fill with water first) Pour the water in the bottom of the drip pan, and barbeque on the grill on low for 15 minutes per pound of meat. OR cook in the oven at 325° F.
Mix the remaining sauce with the pan drippings, skimming off any unwanted fat. Allow the turkey to ‘rest’ for 15 minutes and then carve the meat and place it back into the dripping pan. Allow the meat to warm thoroughly and serve.
Pair this dish perfectly with Canadian Style Roasted Veggies for a wholesome family meal!
