Grilled is a different and fun way to prepare whole turkey. My mom has served this main dish for special occasions, "Christmas in July" and weddings at her home.

30 150 180

Ingredients

  • 1 whole turkey (12 pounds)
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 4 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 4 medium green pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 pounds smoked ham, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Remove giblets from turkey and discard. Place a turkey-size oven roasting bag inside a second roasting bag; add turkey. Place in a roasting pan. Combine the salt, pepper and garlic; rub over turkey.
  • In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, tomatoes, peppers and parsley. Pour over turkey and into cavity. Squeeze out as much air as possible from bag; seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours, turning several times.

I had a very special party for my whole family and the menu was a mix of Thanksgiving and Christmas dishes. I couldn't decide on having a ham or turkey so this was the perfect dish to just have both! Instead of cooking on the grill we cooked it in the oven because we didn't have a way to skewer it and use indirect heat. It still turned out amazing and the flavor was out of this world and it was very moist. Quite perfect. There were no leftovers, everyone raved about it and I will definitely make it again.
