Directions

1 If using charcoal grill, place drip pan directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Loosen skin on turkey in 4 or 5 places. Carefully place lemon slices and basil leaves under skin. Rub turkey skin with oil; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey.
2 Cover and grill turkey, skin side down, over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill and 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 20 minutes; turn. Cover and grill 35 to 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 170°F and juice of turkey is clear when center is cut.
3 Remove turkey from grill; cover with foil tent and let stand 10 minutes. Slice turkey.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve turkey at its juiciest. Cover the turkey with foil and let it rest a few minutes before slicing. This will prevent juices from running out.

Enjoy with a tossed salad.

Used this recipe on a 8 lb breast with bone in. Took 2.5 hrs to grill then brought it for a buffet style Easter Dinner. By the time I had cut it up and set it on the table, then returned to the kitchen to clean up for about 5 minutes, it was gone! Everyone thought it was great! Next time I am going to have to taste it before I serve it!
