Honey Brined Smoked Christmas Turkey

Day 2 of out Christmas Turkey on the Grill series. Have you ever smoked a turkey on a grill? Whether you answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’, the recipe from grill master Alton Brown is one you will want to impress your Christmas guests with.

For this delicious recipe, Alton Brown says you will only spend about 15 minutes on prep and around 4 hours grilling/smoking the turkey. The ingredients are simple and straight forward, which is one thing that I like to see in a recipe that we might be using during the otherwise hectic holidays.

Paula Deen’s Christmas Ham on the grill

Day 5 of our Christmas Ham on the Grill series and we have the classic grilled ham from grill master Paula Deen with a twist. That lady sure has cooked up some delicious food. One of these days we are going to have to get a first hand sample of her southern grill mastery.

In this recipe she provides us with a quite unexpected marinade. It sounds delicious and perfect for the Christmas get together that intends to be a little eccentric.
