Recipe Garbage Can Turkey (Thanksgiving)
Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- aluminum foil
- 15 inch wooden stake
- 1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
- new 15 gallon metal garbage can with lid
Preparing/Cooking:
- Lay about 3 long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil out on the grass to make a square about 3x3 feet.
- Pound the wooden stake into the ground in the center of the aluminum foil.
- Fill the lid of the garbage can with a large pile of charcoal, and light.
- Place the whole turkey (thawed of course) onto the stake, legs down.
- Turn the garbage can upside down, and place over the turkey.
- Place piles of lighted coals on the top, and around the sides of the can.
- Cook for at least 1 1/2 hours, or keep going until coals go out.
- Do not lift can during cooking.
- Brush the charcoal off of the can, and lift off carefully as some heat may rush out when you lift the can.
- The internal temperature of the turkey should be at least 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thickest part of the thigh.
