Go Big with Grilled Turkey

Summer arrives – regardless of the weather outlook – this weekend with Memorial Day. That means cookouts, barbecues and outdoor get-together season will also be in full swing. For my money, there’s no better way to feed a crowd and put on a memorable Memorial Day cook-out than by grilling a turkey.
Grilled turkey makes a big splash for several reasons.

1. It’s delish, regardless of the recipe you choose. This is the top way to make the tastiest turkey ever.
2. It’s special. A real departure from the burgers and dogs on most grills.
3. It’s dead simple. Again, regardless of the recipe, grilling your big bird is easy on the cook, so you can enjoy your holiday.

Grilled turkey has proven to be a real pleaser at our summertime gatherings. Fire up the grill and get ready for the cook-out season ahead with these ideas:
