Insert meat thermometer in center of inside thigh muscle or in the thickest part of turkey
muscle. Brush skin thoroughly with butter or margarine; sprinkle with pepper. Place turkey
in a large enough aluminum disposable pan* to accommodate turkey size. Place roaster on
Kamado grill. Cook about three hours or until thermometer registers 160 degrees. Baste
turkey (See Insert below) occasionally with butter or margarine while cooking. Makes 12 to

*An aluminum disposable
roaster with a built in rack is a great way to cook. TIP: pour two cups of water at
the bottom of this type of disposable roaster to get extra tender turkey!
