An outdoor grill is a metal device for outdoor barbecue, typically made of stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminum.

How to Grill Turkey With Disposable Roasting Pan
If you don’t have a special roasting pan for roasting turkey or don’t want to clean the roasting pan after cooking, then using a disposable roasting pan to cook turkey is suitable for you. Disposable turkey roasting pans are large enough to accommodate your turkey and can be roasted at high temperatures in the oven without deformation and toxic substances. The following is a distribution guide on how to use disposable roasting pans to roast turkey.
Choose a turkey: A 12-14 pound turkey is generally suitable for most grills. You can buy a fresh turkey or a frozen turkey, as long as it is thoroughly thawed.
Prepare tools: Choose an aluminum foil grilling pan that is slightly larger than the turkey, but the pan must be able to be used on the grill. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill. Gas will make cooking easier; charcoal grills will give your turkey a smoky taste. Other tools such as thermometers, aluminum foil, tongs, gloves, brushes, etc.
Prepare the turkey: Prepare the turkey by thawing it completely, removing the giblets, and patting it dry with paper towels. You can season the turkey with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and rub it evenly all over the bird. Consider marinating the turkey overnight for a flavorful finish.
Set up the grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat or set up a charcoal grill with hot coals on one side and an empty side for a two-zone fire. If you want a smoky flavor, soak some wood chips in water for 30 minutes before placing in a smoker box or wrapping in perforated aluminum foil to trap smoke.
Disposable roaster pan: Place a small rack or crumpled aluminum foil in the bottom of a disposable roasting pan to catch the juices and prevent the turkey from soaking in its own juices. Also, place onions, garlic, citrus peels, etc. in the roasting pan.
Turkey: Place the turkey, breast side up, on the rack in a disposable roasting pan, close the lid, and keep the temperature at 350°F, adjusting the vents or burners as needed.
Cooking time: For a 12-14-pound turkey, expect to grill for about 2.5-3 hours. After 2 hours, you can check the temperature of the thickest part of the turkey breast and legs. When the turkey breast reaches 165°F and the turkey legs reach 175°F, the turkey is cooked. Most importantly, baste with melted butter, marinade, or cooking oil every 30-45 minutes to prevent the turkey from burning.
Enjoy the turkey: Carefully remove the turkey from the grill after it is cooked and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can use aluminum foil to cover the turkey to keep it warm during the resting period. Remove the turkey legs and wings, cut the turkey breast, serve with your favorite dishes, and enjoy!
