Lightly Brown some cut up onions, celery, and mushrooms in a black iron pan over the hot coals. Cut up the giblets in very small pieces and add to the pan and cook for a few minutes more. Now add two cups of Chicken Stock to the pan with a bag your favorite bread stuffing mix and heat until hot. Make the stuffing very moist so add more stock as necessary. Remove from the heat. Prepare the turkey with salt and pepper and lemon as shown, and then stuff it with the hot stuffing. Place the turkey Breast Side Down in a grated baking pan, opposite the coals. Add stock to cover the bottom of the pan. Roast "indirect" in a 275-325f closed grill until the temperature of the meat reaches 180f at it's thickest part near the leg bone.
