How to cook your Thanksgiving Turkey on the Big Green Egg

It’s our favorite time of year! Fall grilling season, Thanksgiving feasts and holiday parties are just a few of the fun moments that make us love this time of year. How will you prepare your Thanksgiving turkey? There are three options—brined, injected or roasted. Each of these methods can be accomplished indoors in the oven or outdoors on the smoker or the Big Green Egg. Here’s a look at each so you can determine your turkey preference.

Roasted
Roasted turkeys may be cooked in oven  but we prefer them cooked on a smoker or Big Green Egg. Roasting a turkey is best done in a two-step process. Set the EGG up for indirect cooking with the temp at 325°F/163°C. Use a handful of pecan chips for a light, smoky flavor and to provide a deep brown color to the turkey. Spread the seasoning generously over the outside of the bird. Load the bird onto a Vertical Poultry Roaster or Rib and Roasting Rack, then place into a drip pan. Add the onion and celery to the drip pan. Fill the pan with chicken broth, wine, or water. Cook for 12 minutes per pound until the turkey has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F/74°C throughout the bird. Reserve the drippings from the drip pan to make gravy. For complete roasting recipe for turkey on the Big Green Egg, click here.

Brined
Soaking a turkey overnight in a solution of salt and water ensures moist results. When you add aromatics to the brine, the resulting roast is also infused with a subtle character all its own. You can brine a turkey for the oven or smoker.

Smoked Brined Turkey
Once you try brined turkey, you’ll soon want to try a “smoked” brined turkey. The turkey gains a subtle smoky flavor and is moist and succulent, and if you prefer a bolder smoky flavor, add more hickory or pecan smoking wood chips in increments during cooking. This turkey is great for holiday meals, and you can use the leftovers to make wonderful sandwiches.

This turkey has a subtle smoky flavor and is moist, juicy and delicious. To cook a smoked brined turkey on your Big Green Egg, click here for  Chef Kevin Rathbun’s delicious recipe. Or try Steven Raichlen’s Maple-Brined Smoke-Roasted Turkey recipe and prepared to be “wowed!’

Injected

Injected turkeys tend to have bold flavor. Click here to view two video recipes from Dr. BBQ, demonstrating how to prepare two holiday turkey flavors– an Injected Cajun Creole Butter Turkey and a Lemon, Pepper and Herb Turkey. If you are preparing a whole turkey, just double the injection recipe and inject into the thighs as well as the breasts. These are great recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a delicious meal throughout the year.

Eggs on the Beach Cooking Competition Raises $36,000 for Local NonProfits

We are excited to announce that the 5th Annual Eggs On the Beach Big Green Egg cooking competition raised $36,000 for local non-profit organizations, including our two nonprofit partners—Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. Held at Seascape Resort, we were excited to welcome more than 750 tasters, honorary judges, nearly 30 cook teams, sponsors, and supporters.

Both Food for Thought and the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast received a $15,000 donation as the result of the 2018 Eggs on the Beach EggFest. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast provides a “home away from home” for military families so they can be together during medical treatment. Food For Thought, which manages food pantries in Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, helps fight food insecurity by providing backpacks filled with healthy, easy to prepare foods for more than 3,000 students each week who are dependent on free or reduced school meals.

We attribute the success to our amazing cook teams and volunteers. We have worked hard to create the best food festival in the area and it is because our cook teams keep raising the bar. We are humbled to see the community come together to support these great causes.

In the non-profit category, the Rotary Club of Destin earned first place and a $3,000 donation for their butterflied pork tenderloin spread with a thin layer of cream cheese and sprinkled with jalapeños and green onions then rolled up and wrapped in bacon. The dish was topped with maple-soaked pecan chips smoked on the Big Green Egg as well as a Granny Smith apple, dried cranberry, pecan, sun-dried tomatoes and Knob Creek maple bourbon chutney sauce. In second place, the Air Commando Association received a $2,000 donation toward their cause. Returning from New Orleans, Son of a Saint earned third place and a $1000 donation for their cause, which provides mentorship, education, cultural enrichment, and emotional support to fill the void for dozens of fatherless young men in New Orleans.

The People’s Choice Awards were presented to Sacred Que, Saltwater Restaurants, Inc. and Rotary Club of Destin. Sacred Que won with their bite, which was a sweet tea and bourbon brined beef tenderloin served on a toast point with a caramelized onion/shiitake mushroom/blue cheese spread, horseradish cream sauce, jalapeño pesto and harissa sauce. Their bite was also accompanied by Knob Creek infused raisin bread pudding with a bourbon icing sauce as well as Knob Creek smoked Old Fashion.

In addition, five honorary judges awarded trophies based on flavor, presentation and creativity. Judge’s Choice winners for 2018, include The Gulf Restaurant on Okaloosa Island , Saltwater Restaurants, Inc., and Sacred Que. The winning bite presented by The Gulf and featuring Knob Creek Bourbon was a glazed crispy pork belly with a pineapple and sweet pepper relish and sweet and hot roasted peanuts. The Gulf, along with the Rotary Club of Destin, will compete this week in the World Food Championship in Orange Beach.

For the best bite using Knob Creek Bourbon, United Firefighters Foundation from New Orleans earned first place. In second was the InDyne/RT&T team followed by the Rotary Club of Destin in third.

Last but certainly not least, the best booth display was presented to Saltwater Restaurants, Inc. The creative booth design and delicious bite was a big hit among tasters and judges. Their bite—a buffalo sirloin with a side shrimp served with a glass of Knob Creek Bourbon Smash—also earned them the second place People’s Choice Award and second place Judge’s Choice Award.

Eggs on the Beach event has been steadily growing over the last five years and the event has raised more than $125,000 to local non-profits since its inception in 2013. For those grillers who have dreamed of owning a Big Green Egg, a couple of gently used Demo Eggs are still on sale at Bay Breeze Patio. Click here to learn more about the Big Green Egg.
