There is something to be said for the beautiful marriage of blending the flavorful grilling most recognized as a summer activity with preparing a holiday feast. If you’re looking for a new way to satisfy the palletes of your friends and family this holiday season, then grilling on a Big Green Egg is the right call!
Cook the Right Amount
First, you’ll want to determine just how much food you can cook on your Big Green Egg so you know when to start on those holiday feast preparations. Toggle through the tabs on the Big Green Egg Sizes page to start your shopping list. The XXLarge, for example, can easily house 35-40 burgers, or one perfectly crisp suckling pig (and certainly a whole turkey).
Your Holiday Turkey (or Chicken)
Looking to add a spicy kick to your turkey for Thanksgiving? Then Dr. BBQ’s cajun holiday turkey may get your mouth watering. You’ll need about six pounds of whole, bone-in turkey breast, creole butter, a creole rub, an apple and onion. A tone-downed version with Dr. BBQ’s lemon and herb turkey is available on the same page.
