Turkey is a perfect grilling partner
Do you know how Canadian turkey makes the perfect partner for summer grilling? It is a low-fat, high-protein meat that is great to cook. Getting outside and creating a healthy meal with turkey is a great way to enjoy these few months of warm weather and to gather your loved ones together.
Think you can’t fire up your grill on busy nights and gather everyone together to eat? Think again! The barbecue allows for outdoor chefs to prep multiple ingredients at the same time. This is due to the grill having different heat zones. These spots give you the ability to cook your main dish, side dishes, and even desserts all in the same place. Cooking your meals this way is a real time-saver and creates less mess to deal with once your meal is done, making it a go-to wingman!
A healthy and easy protein to prep for the grill
Are you looking for a nutritious and quick to prep protein to cook up on your grill? Turkey is a fabulous option to choose! The white and dark cuts of this fantastic fowl are lean, so you can breathe easier when you give your family their choice cuts. Turkey’s lean fat content also helps to reduce flare-ups on the grill. The rich and hearty flavour of turkey is also perfect for the barbecue.
This tasty protein can be substituted to your family’s favourite BBQ dishes like burgers, kebobs, and sausages. All of these suggestions are made even tastier when they are made with Canadian turkey! Take a look at their Prep and Serving section to find more helpful tips to use!
Creating a flavourful combination on the barbecue

Not sure how to create extra flavours to add to turkey on the grill? Canadian Turkey has tips to help get you started and to gather your gang together! They have shared with us 11 ways to build big flavour on the grill to inspire your meals and to wow your taste buds.
11 Ways To Build Big Flavour With Turkey On The Grill: Before the grill
1. Be patient and take the time to preheat your bbq for the best results.
2. Prep your turkey meat for the grill. Remove from the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before cooking to allow the meat to come to room temperature. Dry the meat off with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. This will promote an even sear and avoid steaming the meat.
3. Use dry and wet rubs to season your turkey cuts. Turkey marries well with a wide variety of herbs and spices, so feel free to experiment with your favourite combinations to enhance taste and texture.
4. Preheat your grill to hot so that food will sear on contact. Searing will lock in those flavourful juices and help to avoid sticking which can lead to charring.
Make sure to season your meat first, so that the sear will create a flavour-packed crust.
5. Marinate your cuts to add big flavour and help to keep your turkey moist and juicy. Infuse flavour into your meats by marinating with healthy fats like olive oil, and adding citrus, beer, wine or vinegar and fresh herbs, spices and rubs.

6. Learn to use direct and indirect heat. Direct heat works best to sear turkey, develop savoury crusts on your cuts, create flavourful grill marks, and cook smaller or thinner cuts of meat quickly. Indirect heat works for larger cuts of meat that need to cook low and slow, coaxing out flavours while keeping cuts moist and tender.
7. Smoke and sizzle mean big flavour! Use the barbeque to brown your turkey and create caramelization that adds big, bold flavour and keeps your meat juicy and tender. Smoke adds that unique and special BBQ taste, allowing you to cut down on salt, sugar and fat.
8. Know when your meat is done! Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and avoid overcooking or undercooking your turkey.
9. Leave it alone! When cooking over indirect heat, leave your turkey cuts alone without turning or flipping very often to allow for even cooking and browning.
10. Cook your entire meal on the BBQ – appetizers, side dishes, vegetables and even desserts can be cooked over the grill. Cooking entire meals on the grill will give you juicy meat and tasty vegetables. Grilling locks in moisture and adds natural smoky flavour, cutting down on the need for extra fat, salt and sugary sauces. Visit thinkturkey.ca to explore a library of amazing grilled turkey recipes!
11. Don’t crowd the meat! When grilling your turkey, leave space between the turkey pieces to promote even heat circulation and ensure consistent cooking.
