Grilled Whole Turkey
Have you ever grilled a whole turkey? This is an easy way to cook a Thanksgiving turkey and free up your oven for other dishes.
Ingredients
- 12 pound whole turkey rinsed and patted dry
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place turkey, breast-side down, onto the preheated grill. Sear on both sides until skin is golden to dark brown.
- In a large roasting pan, mix water, bouillon powder, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, and paprika together.
- Place turkey, breast-side down, into the roasting pan and scoop seasoning mixture over top. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place onto the grill.
- Grill until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
