My advice to you as you plan your menu is to pick at least one menu item to grill. You save much-coveted oven space; it will be a fun twist on a classic; and if you need a moment to step away from family or friends, you have a built-in excuse to go outside. We learned some tips about how to [smoke a whole turkey]( from BBQ expert, Rodney Scott. I assure you that if you bring this burnished bird to your table, you will be the hero of Thanksgiving. Or if you want something less traditional, you could make [Tennessee Pulled Turkey Sandwiches](. I made these once for Friendsgiving and they’re so smokey and well-seasoned, my friends have required them on the menu ever since. Sweet potatoes pair deliciously with char, so you could try our [Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Maple Chile Crisp]( by chef Sean Sherman or a [Grilled Sweet Potato Salad]( that has some Southwestern flair. Want an appetizer that is sure to impress? If you make [Grilled Bacon Wrapped Scallops]( people will rave about the meal no matter how the rest of it goes. A few things to keep in mind as you prepare: 1. Check to make sure that your [grilling supplies]( are stocked before the day (no one wants to run out of charcoal halfway through smoking a turkey). 2. Clean your grill well to avoid food sticking and be careful to avoid cross contamination. I always like to grill with two sets of tongs. One I mark with tape as ones that can touch raw meat and the other for safe / ready to eat food. 3. If you’re smoking your turkey, be sure to use a meat thermometer. It can go from juicy to dry pretty quickly and temperature is your best friend for controlling that. 4. Have fun and enjoy being outside! It’s something to be thankful for.
