Ingredients
  

  • 14 pound whole turkey giblets removed
  • 4 tablespoons melted duck fat lard (or butter), or more if desired
  • 3 tablespoons Redmond Real salt or smoked salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium heat and prepare the grill to place the turkey on indirect heat.
  • Clean the turkey, remove the giblets. Clean the inside of the turkey. Pat turkey dry. Rub melted fat all over the turkey. Season well on all sides with salt.
  • Once the grill is 350 degrees F, place the turkey on indirect heat on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 1 hour.
  • Open the lid and rotate the turkey so the opposite end is towards the heat source of the grill. Brush with additional melted fat if desired. Close the lid and cook another 45 minutes or until interval temperature of the thickest part of the turkey breast reads 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Store extras in air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month. Can be served chilled or reheat by placing pieces in a casserole dish with a few tablespoons of carnivore broth or duck fat. Place in 350 degree F oven for 4 minutes or until heated through.
