Recipe
Preparation
Use indirect heat, as explained in the recipe to cook a whole turkey
or turkey breast. Allow 1 3/4 to 3 1/4 hours' cook- ing time,
depending on the size of your turkey and heat of the coals.
Prepare coals and grill.
Remove neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse turkey under cold water;
drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine oil, herbs and seasonings in a small bowl. Generously brush on
cavities and outer surface of turkey, reserv- ing some mixture to use
as a baste.
Pull turkey skin over the neck; secure with a skewer. Tuck wings
under back and tie legs together with kitchen twine.
Arrange medium-hot briquettes on two sides of a large metal or foil
drip pan. Fill the pan halfway with hot tap water.
Place turkey, breast side up, on grill, directly above the drip pan.
Cover grill and cook turkey 11 to 15 minutes per pound, or until an
instant-read meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F, basting
occasionally with reserved herb mixture.
Add a few briquettes to both sides of the fire every hour or as
necessary to maintain a constant temperature.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.

Diet tips
At the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate bars for cookies and muffins.
If you have converted your tasty chocolate cookie or muffins recipe using soya flour, it would be crazy to put in those high carbohydrate normal chocolate. Cut up a low carb bar of chocolate into tiny pieces and use that in its place.
* Don't skip meals
Most low carbohydrate recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbs. We all need energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet requires great care in controlling your intake of energy, as any energy contributed by fat or protein is much slower acting.
The brassica family, Wonderfoods that aid Your diet
(includes Kale, Broccoli, Turnip greens and Rutabaga)
Known as cruciferous vegetables, these are rich in vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, and indole-3-carbinol.
Over and above their most other beneficial effects, the minerals and nutrients in these are thought to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer.
