T Rex Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Well, with the help of several members on this forum, we just cooked our first turkey on the KK............ The bird was 16.28 pounds and was cooked with stuffing inside. The KK was set at 325F with a BBQ Guru monitoring the bird, which took 4 hours to cook prior to resting. While I initially was going to put the meat probe inside the stuffing, at the last minute I stuck it in the thickest part of the breast set at 165F and used a Thermapen to check the thighs and stuffing temperatures.... The bird was delicious and here are a couple of photos of the cook: Mrs. T Rex didn't want me to put her Al-Clad roaster in the KK so I used one of those disposable things for the cooking.... This was the bird after about 3 hours in the KK... This is the bird after 4 hours and switched to Mrs. T Rex's roaster The final product on the table... As you can tell it was not a large gathering, only my mother who drove up from Qualicum Beach. The bird was very good and the gravy was out of this world..... Mrs. T Rex's "Mother-in-Law" says, THANK YOU DENNIS T Rex

Good looking bird, I love turkey but they are all imported, very pricy and factory brined.. Now I'm inspired to get one anyway..

I totally agree with your statement. T Rex
