• Have a large drip pan filled with a little water positioned under where the turkey will be placed on the grill. Brush the entire turkey with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the turkey on all sides until golden brown. Reduce the heat of the grill to medium to maintain a constant temperature of 350 degrees F. Cook turkey until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170 to 175 degrees F. Begin brushing the entire turkey with the apple glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

ROSEMARY, THYME AND APPLE ROASTED TURKEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove giblets from the turkey and rinse the turkey inside and out. Pat dry with a paper towel. Place turkey on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan, breast side up. Salt and pepper both the inside and outside of the bird. In a small bowl, combine the butter with 2 tablespoons of rosemary and 2 tablespoons of thyme. Mix until combined. Slide your fingers between the skin and the breast meat of the turkey and gently lift up the skin to form a "pocket". Go as far up the breast as possible. Using your fingers, spread the butter mixture into the pocket all around the breast meat. If you have any left over, rub it on the outside of the skin, all over the bird. Place quartered apple, onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme sprigs inside the cavity of the turkey. Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together for roasting. Pour the apple juice and water into the bottom of the roaster and place the turkey into the oven. The turkey will need to roast for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. You can baste the turkey with the juices in the bottom of the pan. Try not to overdo this as opening the door to the oven will require longer roasting time. If the turkey is getting too brown, place an aluminum foil tent over the bird and continue roasting. When the turkey is done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

APPLE-GLAZED ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine 8 cups cool water with the salt, sugar, rosemary, coriander and peppercorns in a container large enough to hold the turkey. Stir until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Stir in 8 more cups of cool water. Remove the bag of giblets and the neck from turkey; and, if you like, reserve for another use (you can freeze them, freezing the liver separately). Discard any large pieces of fat from the turkey, rinse the bird inside and out and place in the brine. Top with a weighted plate to keep it submerged. Refrigerate, or, if it is winter and you have an unheated garage, place it in there. A cooler, lined with a plastic bag works well too. Brine for 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• For roasting the bird: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lift the turkey from the brine; discard the brine. Rinse and pat dry. Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the turkey, breast-side up, on a rack in the pan. Place the lemon and orange in the turkey cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Tuck the wings under. Rub the entire turkey with the oil. Roast for 30 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the thigh without touching the bone, 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes total (about 12 minutes per pound).
• For the glaze: While the turkey is roasting, combine the cider, soy sauce and rosemary in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and boil until the mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes. Baste the turkey with the glaze every 15 minutes during the final 45 minutes of cooking time. Transfer the turkey to a platter or carving board and tent with foil. Rest the turkey for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before carving.
