There’s something truly special about the Thanksgiving holiday. It's a time to gather with loved ones, share stories, and enjoy a delicious meal together. While many people choose to host their celebrations indoors, an outdoor Thanksgiving can be just as meaningful — and even more memorable. Imagine sipping on some warm cider, enjoying the crisp autumn air, and sharing a feast under the open sky. With a little planning, your backyard can become the perfect setting for a cozy, festive gathering.
**How to Make a Great Turkey**
When it comes to an outdoor Thanksgiving, the star of the show is always the turkey. But why not make it a bit more exciting? A rotisserie-style jerk turkey is a fantastic option that adds both flavor and fun to your celebration. To get started, invest in a quality PGS grill that includes rotisserie attachments. These accessories will make cooking your turkey easier and more efficient, ensuring a perfectly cooked bird every time.
To prepare your turkey, start by thawing it completely. Once it's ready, remove the giblets and rinse the bird thoroughly. Next, create a flavorful rub using a mix of salt, dried thyme, rosemary, ground pepper, sage, and garlic powder. For a touch of sweetness, you can add a bit of lemon or orange zest. Rub this mixture generously inside and outside the turkey, allowing it to sit for a few hours so the flavors can really soak in.
**Rotisserie Turkey Recipe**
*The Rub:*
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Lemon or orange zest
*Steps:*
1. Wash and dry the turkey.
2. Mix all the ingredients and rub them into the turkey.
3. Place the turkey on the rotisserie and cook at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes per pound.
4. Check the internal temperature of the thighs — they should reach around 180°F.
5. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before carving.
The result? A juicy, tender turkey with a crispy, golden crust — perfect for any outdoor feast.
**Other Sides**
While the turkey is the main attraction, the sides are what make the meal truly unforgettable. Encourage guests to bring their favorite dishes, but also consider preparing a few classics like mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, yams, and cornbread. You can even use your PGS grill to warm up these dishes, thanks to its side burner accessories. This way, everything stays fresh and hot until it's time to serve.
**Table Setting**
Creating a beautiful table setup can elevate your outdoor Thanksgiving experience. Use seasonal decor like pumpkins, gourds, and fall flowers to create a cozy, festive atmosphere. Choose a large outdoor table to accommodate all your guests and add some colorful placemats and plates to keep everyone in the holiday spirit. Don’t forget to add some candles or string lights for a warm, inviting glow.
**Ambience**
Setting the right mood is key to a successful outdoor dinner. String lights over your patio or dining area can add a magical touch, while outdoor heaters like Sunglo or Patio Comfort can keep your guests comfortable as the evening cools down. These heaters not only provide warmth but also add a soft, ambient light that enhances the overall atmosphere.
Whether you're hosting a small family gathering or a larger group of friends, an outdoor Thanksgiving can be just as special as an indoor one — if not more. With the right food, décor, and ambiance, your backyard can become the perfect place to celebrate the season. So grab your grill, invite your loved ones, and make this Thanksgiving one to remember.
