Marinated Thanksgiving Turkey cont.

Prepare grill for indirect medium heat (see "Grill Skills", pages
24-25). Tuck wings under turkey and place with breast side down on
grill rack. Grill, covered, for 1 hour. If using a charcoal grill,
add 10 briquettes to coals; turn the turkey. Baste with reserved
marinade. Cover and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, adding 10 briquettes
to maintain heat and brushing with marinade every 30 minutes until
meat thermometer reads 180°. Cover and let stand 20 minutes
before carving. (See "Carve Like a Pro" on page 29 for turkey carving
tips.) Conventional Roasting Method: Place turkey on a rack
in a large roaster. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours
or until meat thermometer reads 180°. Baste frequently with
reserved marinade. When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with a
tent of aluminum foil.
