has anyone done a small turkey on a gas grill rotisserie?

I think I'll try it this weekend. Something for the summer. I'll make CathyZ's creamy zucchini
bake which has bread cubes in it and is stuffing-like. I'm not looking for a traditional turkey dinner feel, just something different on the BBQ. I agree with you that there is nothing like the smell or taste of a nice roasted bird with stuffing for the holidays.

Congrats grandpop!! LOL, I have those same frozen turkeys in the freezer and that's what I want to
use up. We have a new Frigidaire natural gas grill with rotisserie that will hold up to 20 lbs, so the 14 lb turkey should be fine. It says to take out the middle grates if we need more room since the heat source is at the back of the grill and the pan can just go in the bottom. I wasn't thinking about gravy, but your post makes me re-think that. Or just use all the drippings for some killer soup.

We make stuffing on the side and bake it in the oven. We're not big on stuffing the bird...
...so we don't really miss out on much that way.
The aroma of a turkey in the oven is wonderful, and those smells are the most powerful memory cues I know of!

AngAk, I use my rotisserie quite a bit, my hints;
Be sure the two ends are REALLY pushed in tight, as the turkey cooks, it shrinks (it happens pretty quick). Also, tie the legs and wings close to the body. No matter how well I push in the ends and tie the floppy parts, at some point it stops spinning and bumps around until I can get it all secured again. I just place a rimmed baking sheet under it to catch the drippings.
Other than that I just let it spin till done.
