Crisping - I recommend this if you plan a slow method for grilling turkey. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. After your bird is cleaned and dried, rub it with 1 tbs. of unsalted butter then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Once the oven temperature is reached, place the turkey in the oven for 20 minutes. This will quickly cook the skin and seal in the juices. As you grill your turkey, the skin will crisp and will allow the bird to cook in its own juices, keeping the breast moist and flavorful.
