Beer Can Turkey

Beer Can Turkey

  •  

This recipe for Beer Can Turkey starts with a 14 lb turkey seasoned with Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub and infused with a flavorful injection made from melted unsalted butter, Cattleman’s Grill Butcher House Brine, and Kansas Wildflower Honey. The turkey is placed on top of a large can of beer (such as Central Standard Brewing Lazer Fog IPA) and cooked indirectly in a Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill at 375ºF. Another can of beer and some water are added to the pan to keep the drippings from burning. The turkey is cooked until the breasts reach an internal temperature of 155ºF, about 2 hours and 45 minutes. After resting for 20 minutes, the turkey is carved and served with the rich pan drippings for added moisture.
