How to Grill a Perfect Turkey

Step 2: Prep your turkey
Pull off the leg truss. You want hot air circulating through the bird, and that can't happen when the legs are tied together.

Reach into the main cavity and pull out the bag of giblets. Fish around for the neck too. Sometimes it's in the neck cavity.

Then drain it and pat it dry inside and out--it'll crisp up better.
