Variations: Maple-Orange Glazed Whole Turkey: Prepare as above, except use an (8 to 10 pound) whole turkey in place of the turkey roast. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey. Skewer the neck skin to the back. Twist the wing tips under the back. Tuck the drumsticks under the band of skin across the tail or tie legs to tail with 100%-cotton string. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle without the thermometer touching the bone. Brush the turkey with butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture. Grill for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until thermometer registers 180 degrees F. Brush with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling. Bring any remaining glaze to boil; pass with turkey.
Maple-Orange Glazed Turkey Breast: Prepare as above, except use a (4 to 6 pound) whole turkey breast in place of the whole turkey. Grill for 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 170 degrees F, brushing with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling. Bring any remaining glaze to boil; pass with turkey.
