Rotisserie turkey, sorted. 🦃🔥
Forget the oven. The whole bird goes on the rotisserie, slow-turns over the coals, and comes off golden, juicy, and smoky as anything.
You'll need:
• 1 whole turkey (approx 4-5kg)
• 100g melted butter
• 2 tbsp garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp each: paprika, dried thyme, salt, pepper
• 1 lemon, halved
• A few sprigs of rosemary
How to:
• Pat the turkey dry, then rub it all over (and under the skin) with melted butter and garlic.
• Season generously inside and out with paprika, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and rosemary.
• Truss it up, load it onto the spit, and set it turning over medium coals.
• Roast low and slow — roughly 3 hours, or until the juices run clear and the skin's crackling.
• Rest for 20 mins before carving. Try not to eat it all standing up.
Set it, forget it, let the fire do the work.
