11. This recipe uses Louisiana Grills Pulled Pork Rub
    

12. Fire up your Louisiana Grills pellet grill and preheat to 450°F, with lid closed. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for high heat.
    

13. Spread the tomatoes and onions evenly over the bottom of the roasting pan. Set the turkey, breast side up, on top of the vegetables. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with cornbread stuffing, then close the cavity by crossing the legs and tying with butcher’s twine. Pour remaining marinade over turkey.
    

14. Transfer turkey to grill and roast for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, open the grill and cover the turkey with aluminum foil, crimping the foil around the edges of the roasting pan. Reduce grill temperature to 350° F, and grill an additional 2 ½ hours.
    

15. Remove turkey from grill and baste with pan juices. Return to grill, uncovered, and turn grill up to 400° F. Cook turkey another 15 minutes or until the skin is golden and internal temp reaches 165° F. Remove from grill and allow turkey to rest for 30 minutes before carving.
