    It’s the same thing as smoking a turkey. Here’s a link that should help you. If not search for other recipes..there are lots of them out there.

    From The Secret Ingredient Catering & Event Planning – San Jose, Ca
    Grilling Turkey Indirect heat is ideal for cooking whole turkeys which need slower cooking. With indirect heat, the lid is closed and the meat is placed in a tray or on the unlit portion of the grill. Grill the turkey for approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound, according to the grill manufacturer’s instructions.
    Here is our suggestion for your BBQ Turkey
    Barbecued Turkey
    Melt 1/4 cup of butter and mix in 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire
    sauce.
    Rub the turkey inside and out with the butter mixture, working the
    mixture under the skin as far as possible without tearing the skin
    and on top of the skin. Do this the night before.
    Season the bird with lemon pepper.
    Just before placing the bird in the pit thinly slice 1 lemon and
    1 medium onion. Insert the lemon and onion slices into the cavity.
    Run your pit up to 325F (grill level temperature) and hold using
    your favorite wood, (apple and oak are good).
    Place the bird breast down in the pit with the legs and thighs
    facing toward the hotter end. The cooking time will be the same
    as oven cooking the bird at 325 deg.
    Half way through the cooking time flip the bird over to breast side
    up. Be careful not to spill the juices out of the cavity.
    Remove the turkey after checking to be sure that it is done. Remove
    the onion and lemon slices and discard the slices.
    Tips:
    Use a pair of rubber coated cooking gloves for flipping the turkey or handling any heavy meat.
    Wrap the wings and the very end of the drum stick with aluminum
    foil.
    You can do a chicken exactly the same way (except cut the amountof the onions, lemon and butter sauce).
