you’re the experts TRASH CAN TURKEY

Inside information from Coast to Coast members

Trash can turkey may not sound appetiz- ing, but believe us, it is! There’s a group of RV snowbirds that spends winters in Yuma and summers in Idaho, just south of McCall. We need no special holiday or reason to put together a turkey party two or three times a year, occasionally with two trash cans at a time. Materials • 10-gallon metal trash can and lid • 16- to 20-pound turkey • 10 pounds Kingsford charcoal briquettes • Heavy-duty aluminum foil • 20-inch metal stake

June’s Camping World/Good Sam Rally lit up Syracuse with dazzling fireworks, RV displays and Reba McEntire’s encore performance.

Process 1. Place the trash can lid upside down, pour in the briquettes and light. 2. Lay down a layer of foil 12 to 18 inches larger than the diameter of the trash can. Lay a second layer over the first in the opposite direction. 3. Drive the stake into the middle of the foil and cover it with foil. 4. Place the turkey on the stake. 5. Put the trash can over the turkey (there should be at least 3 to 4 inches between the top of the can and the turkey). 6. When most of the briquettes have turned white, spread a layer of briquettes on top of the trash can and heap the rest on the foil around the outside bottom of the can. 7. Cook the turkey for two hours undisturbed, then use caution when removing the can from the turkey and the turkey from the stake. Enjoy!
