Equipment
15-inch Dutch oven
Directions
Slice the four onions and place the bottom of the large 15” Dutch oven.
Rinse the turkey in cold water, drain, and pat dry. Rub the salt and pepper all over the turkey.
Place orange and lemon inside of the turkey, then place the turkey on top of the onions.
Bake for 3 hours in a Dutch oven. Use 10 briquettes underneath and 30 on top of the Dutch oven. Replace coals every 45 minutes, or when burnt out.
Roast for three hours then checks the temperature of the turkey. It must read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) before it is fully cooked.
