Foil cooking while you are camping is an easy and great way to make meals. This recipe for cooking a whole turkey is bound to be a favorite.

Whole Turkey on the Open Fire!

Ingredients:
1 whole turkey (any size, I usually do about a 10 lb bird)
Heavy duty aluminum foil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
salt and pepper
butter

Directions:

Clean out bird thoroughly, remove organ meat and neck from inside cavity, wash and set aside.
Roll out aluminum foil long enough to close around bird with a few extra inches
Roll out 2 to 3 sheets the same length and seam together, side by side (not lengthwise)
Place turkey on foil and curl up edges of foil.
Salt and pepper inside cavity
Cut small slits in skin of bird and place small amounts of butter under skin in multiple places
Pour soy sauce and honey over bird
add garlic, organ meats and neck to tinfoil package
Close up and seal all sides (leave top loose so you can open and baste.
Place on hot, low campfire grill.
Baste occasionally, every hour or so until done.
Test for doneness (varies due to bird size and heat)
It will never dry out so I just keep it on for hours, turkey falls off the bone!
To test if done … slice into turkey to the breastbone, as long as it’s not pink, it’s done.

Enjoy!
