During the fair weather months, the barbecue is your best friend. When your busy getting your crew ready to rush to baseball or soccer practice, the barbecue helps put a tasty meal on the table in a short amount of time. When it’s too hot to cook in the oven, the barbecue has your back and when you are relaxing in the deck and just don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, the barbecue delivers a great tasting meal with minimal prep and clean up. It really is a parents best friend.
Turkey is a nutritious option that’s easy to prepare on the grill. Both white and dark meat are lean, so you can provide your family with different choices that suit their taste without compromising on health or nutrition. The lean fat content of turkey also reduces flare-ups on the grill, so you’ll feel good knowing you are preparing a healthy BBQ meal.
Other benefits of grilling with turkey? Grilling enhances the flavour of meat and vegetables, which means using less butter, oil and processed sauces in your recipes. Turkey is a versatile protein that complements any flavour profile, so you can easily prepare it with all of your favourite rubs and marinades. Unsure of what spices or sauces to use with your turkey? Check out this handy little Spice Guide featuring flavour packed spice blends that are perfect for grilling season, plus these Delectable Sauces will finish it off perfectly.
BBQ Turkey Mixed Grill Dinner
BBQ Turkey Mixed Grill Dinner
Ingredients
- 4 turkey wings and drummettes
- 2 turkey drumsticks
- 2 turkey thighs
- 2 bone-in turkey breasts
- 4 turkey sausages
- For rub:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp ground poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For sauce:
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine spices to make a rub.
- Season all the turkey cuts except for sausage with the rub.
- BBQ over medium heat until cooked through, no longer pink, and the meat registers 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat. (Heat setting and cook time will depend on the power of your BBQ and the size of each cut.)
- While cooking, combine sauce ingredients in a hand blender or mini chopper and blend to combine.
- Baste all turkey cuts generously in the last 10 - 15 minutes (depending on cut) of cooking time.
- Approximate cooking times:
- wings and drummettes: 8 - 10 mins per side
- sausages: 8 - 10 mins per side
- drumsticks and thighs: 12 - 18 mins per side
- bone-in breast: 20 - 30 mins per side
- Set aside to rest, 15 mins.
- Baste again with sauce before serving.
- Note: Heat setting and cook time will depend on the power of your BBQ and the size and weight of each cut.

8 Ways To Build Big Flavour With Turkey On The Grill:
1. Learn to use direct and indirect heat. Direct heat works best to sear turkey, develop savoury crusts on your cuts, create flavourful grill marks, and cook smaller or thinner cuts of meat quickly. Indirect heat works for larger cuts of meat that need to cook low and slow, coaxing out flavours while keeping cuts moist and tender.
2. Smoke and sizzle mean big flavour! Use the barbeque to brown your turkey and create caramelization that adds big, bold flavour and keeps your meat juicy and tender. Smoke adds that unique and special BBQ taste, allowing you to cut down on salt, sugar and fat.
3. Preheat your grill to hot so that food will sear on contact. Searing will lock in those flavourful juices and help to avoid sticking which can lead to charring. Make sure you season your meat first, so that the sear will create a flavour-packed crust.
4. Use dry and wet rubs to season your turkey cuts. Turkey marries well with a wide variety of herbs and spices, so feel free to experiment with your favourite combinations to enhance taste and texture.
5. Know when your meat is done! Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and avoid overcooking or undercooking your turkey.
6. Leave it alone! When cooking over indirect heat, leave your turkey cuts alone without turning or flipping very often to allow for even cooking and browning.
7. Cook your entire meal on the BBQ – appetizers, side dishes, vegetables and even desserts can be cooked over the grill. Cooking entire meals on the grill will give you juicy meat and tasty vegetables. Grilling locks in moisture and adds natural smoky flavour, cutting down on the need for extra fat, salt and sugary sauces. Visit canadianturkey.ca to explore a library of amazing grilled turkey recipes!
8.Marinate your cuts to add big flavour and help to keep your turkey moist and juicy. Infuse flavour into your meats by marinating with healthy fats like olive oil, and adding citrus, beer, wine or vinegar and fresh herbs, spices and rubs.
