If you follow the simple steps I've going to give you, you will be grilling turkeys like a pro. Whether you use a gas grill or a charcoal grill, you can grill a turkey. When grilling a turkey, you must do it indirect. This basically means that you do not grill it right over the heat, you grill it to the side of the heat source.
Whether you are using a gas grill or charcoal grill you will need a drip pan. A simple aluminum pan will work for this. If using a charcoal grill build the charcoal along the sides of the drip pan. So, if you place the drip pan in the center under the turkey, build the hot coals along the sides of the drip pan. If you use a gas grill, check your owners manual on how to set up indirect grilling.
Once your grill is ready, set the turkey on the grate over the drip pan. Make sure the turkey breast is facing up when grilling. You can now place the cover on the grill. It will take around 2 to 3 hours for a 15 pound turkey to cook. You will want to check the coals from time to time as you may need to add more to keep the heat up.
You will want to check the internal temperature of the turkey often to see how it is cooking. Pull the turkey off the grill when the thigh temperature reads approximately 180 degrees. Once it is off the grill, let is rest for around 15 - 20 minutes before carving it up.
