Instructions
In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in 1/4 cup oil until tender. Stir in the ketchup, water, syrup, vinegar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon pepper and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside 1-1/2 cups for serving.
Remove giblets from turkey (discard or save for another use). Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Rub remaining oil over skin of turkey.
Sprinkle salt and remaining pepper over turkey and inside cavity.
Place turkey over drip pan; grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1 hour.
Brush with some of the sauce mixture. Grill 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting frequently with remaining sauce. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
Serve with reserved sauce.
