5 Alternative Ways to Prepare a Thanksgiving Turkey Without Using an Oven

Consider taking your turkey-cooking operation outside this Thanksgiving for a unique meal that will free up space in the kitchen. Grills, smokers, and fryers are great options for outdoor cooking.

If you want to keep the oven free, some small kitchen appliances can quickly and effectively get the job done.

Cooking the perfect Thanksgiving turkey can be made easier with these five products that can help you change your routine.

Roast your holiday bird in a versatile Kamado Joe grill from Home Depot for a juicy bird with crispy skin. Alternatively, opt for a Big Green Egg, $1,369.99 at Ace Hardware, which has ceramic walls and airflow that create an oven-like environment, keeping the turkey succulent.

This year, smoke your turkey in a Traeger Pro Series 34 Pellet Grill. To keep your bird moist during the smoking process, use a wet brine. Your guests will be impressed. For a more affordable smoker, consider the Z GRILLS Wood Pellet Smoker, currently on sale for $395.38 on Wayfair. This smoker features a 553-square-inch grilling area, a 20-pound hopper capacity, a foldable working shelf, heavy-duty all-terrain wheels, a rustproof cover and racks.

Deep frying a big bird is possible with the Bayou Classic 44-quart "Big Bird" Kit, which has a 44-quart (11-gallon) capacity and includes a long-probe dial thermometer, aluminum grab hook, and rack. For a smaller bird, the Masterbuilt 10 Liter XL Electric Fryer, on sale for $96 at Walmart, is a better option, with a large basket to accommodate a single 20-pound turkey.

This Amazon roaster oven with a self-basting lid can hold a 22-pound turkey and can bake, slow cook, and roast various foods. The self-basting lid continuously recirculates moisture, resulting in a tender bird every time. Additionally, it is easy to clean.
