Celebrate Traditional Thanksgiving with Turkey Prepared on a Rotisserie Burner

This Thanksgiving, North Americans can rediscover the spirit of the original feast by preparing a turkey on a rotisserie burner—just like the Pilgrims and Wampanoags did over 400 years ago. While the tradition has evolved, cooking a large turkey and all the sides on a durable grill allows families to experience the flavors and aromas that defined the first Thanksgiving.

Although the Pilgrims and Wampanoags manually turned their turkeys over an open flame, modern technology makes it easier than ever to enjoy this classic method. PGS Grills feature advanced infrared rotisserie burners that ensure your turkey comes out perfectly golden and juicy. With a stainless steel propane or natural gas grill, you also have plenty of space for side dishes and family recipes.

Cooking a turkey on a rotisserie burner not only enhances flavor but also simplifies the process. The bird bastes in its own juices, while vegetables placed below capture the drippings for rich gravy. Here's how to prepare a mouthwatering turkey using a PGS Grill’s rotisserie system.

Thanksgiving Turkey on a Rotisserie Burner

Using a PGS Grill with an infrared rotisserie burner opens up a world of outdoor cooking possibilities. You can cook everything from whole chickens and beef cuts to pineapples and veggie kabobs. The rotisserie does all the work, turning and roasting your food to perfection without any extra effort.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to preparing a delicious Thanksgiving turkey using your rotisserie burner:

Gather These Items and Ingredients

• Turkey (12–14 pounds)
• Garlic (8 peeled cloves)
• Rosemary (3 teaspoons crushed)
• Onion Powder (1 teaspoon crushed)
• Thyme (2 teaspoons crushed)
• Sage (2 teaspoons crushed)
• Melted Butter (2 sticks)
• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Whole Onions (4 peeled)
• Whole Carrots (8 peeled)
• Potatoes (6 peeled and halved)
• Stuffing of Choice (optional)
• Aluminum Foil
• Aluminum Foil Baking Pan

How to Brine Your Turkey

Brining helps keep your turkey moist and tender. In a large pot, mix warm water with two tablespoons of sea salt, two tablespoons of black pepper, two teaspoons of rosemary, and two diced garlic cloves. Submerge the turkey in the brine and refrigerate overnight. After removing it, pat the turkey dry before proceeding.

How to Prepare the Turkey

Make small slits in the turkey skin and place four garlic cloves inside. Thread the turkey onto the rotisserie spit and test that it rotates smoothly. Adjust as needed to ensure even cooking.

Once secured, apply melted butter to the turkey. Mix sage, rosemary, onion powder, and thyme in a bowl, then rub the mixture over the buttered bird. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If you're stuffing the turkey, add your favorite filling now. Secure the bird with butcher’s twine, and consider trimming the wing tips to prevent them from drying out.

Place the turkey back on the grill and check that it turns easily. Pour two cups of water into the baking pan, then add the remaining garlic, onions, carrots, and potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and position the pan under the turkey to collect the drippings.

Set the rotisserie and grill to 350°F. Unlike ovens, preheating isn’t necessary. Occasionally reapply butter and season as needed throughout the cooking process.

Pro Tips

Monitor the grill temperature closely. The infrared rotisserie burner can be adjusted as needed. A turkey typically takes 12–14 minutes per pound, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F. Once done, let the turkey rest under foil before carving.
