Beer Butt Turkey
Beer Butt Turkey
Simple and fast. Rub the turkey with some oil and spices, plug the neck hole with a potato then stand him up on a beer can. You want to use a 1/2 to 3/4 full can of beer for this. Go ahead and take a good swig or two to bring the level down in the can. I put the can in a holder to keep things from tipping over if someone bumps the BBQ. I found a pipe flange that works on the regular cans but my quest goes on for the proper holder for a Fosters.
Keep the BBQ at 350 for 2 to 3 hours and your done. 180 degrees on the breast meat.

EDIT:Start to finish in 3 hours. Ran to 7/11 for the beer at 7:30 and had it cut up and in the fridge by 10:30. Moistest turkey I ever had. We're eating at my sisters today so I had to put some leftovers in the fridge for the boys to work over this week.
