This is a recipie that my mom made to add in a little Texas Twist to our Thanksgiving when we had family coming in from out of town. With a small Turkey it is also an easy thing to do for a tailgating party.
LONE STAR TURKEY
1 (16 oz) can Lone Star Beer
1 beer can chicken holder
1 small turkey (8-12 lbs)
5 bay leaves (crumpled)
2 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup onion
Any of your favorite spices!
Wood chips
GLAZE:
Combine:
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. ketchup
2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar
2 Tbsp. Lone Star beer
2 tsp. hot sauce
Soak the wood chips in water.
Remove the top of the Lone Star can using a household can opener. Set aside 2 Tbsp of Lone Star beer to use later for the glaze. Discard about 1/3 of beer from can; only 12 oz of beer is needed for turkey.
Place crumpled bay leaves and dried thyme into the Lone Star Beer. You can also add any of your favorite spices for an original taste. Place the can in the holder and lower the turkey onto the can (the holder will keep the turkey upright during cooking).
Place the turkey and can on the grill over low heat (If using a gas grill, position the turkey over one burner, away from the other burners. Turn the burner under the turkey off and turn the other burners on low.).
Make a container with aluminum foil (or use a metal wood chip tray) and fill it with the wood chips that were soaking in water.
Place the container over the other burner or on the hot coals. Close the lid of the grill.
When the thigh meat reaches 160 degrees F apply glaze.
Wait a few minutes and then brush on another coat of the glaze. Cook until the thigh meat registers 170 degrees F or until juices run clear.
Servings: 10
