    Here goes nuthin'

    Well here goes my first turkey on the MES. Have done plenty of chicken, normally pull it before it's done and hit it with the grill to crisp the skin. Today I think I'll just use the oven and save myself from the COLD! Rub is thyme, sage, rosemary, sugar and pepper mixed in olive oil and rubbed...
