This recipe is Cedar Planked Turkey with Wild Rice and Bread
stuffing from the book Sticks & Stones: The Art of Grilling on Plank, Vine,
and Stone by Ted Reader and Kathleen Sloan. A great book for trying
something a little different.

Some of the best home made stuffing I've ever had. I used English muffin
bread to make it. Garlic, onion, celery, wild rice, golden raisins and
fresh thyme and sage.

Had this bird in my freezer for almost a year and figured I better make
it. It was a Jenny-O pre-brined thing (which is why it was in my freezer
for so long) so I didn't brine it. Just stuffed it and trussed it and
sprinkled with a little salt and pepper.

A couple of cedar planks floating in apple cider preheated in the K at 450.

Here's the bird in the K just starting. First half hour was at 450 and
then turned it down to 325 for the rest of the cook.

4 hours later (I did the last hour and a half in the oven) it's all done.
I should probably have brushed it with a little olive oil to keep the skin from
getting too done but we don't eat the skin anyway.

Went a little long (the white meat toward the outside was a little dry) but it
had a great flavor and the rest of the bird was nice and juicy. The carcass
made some great soup the next day.
