Ingredients
  

  • 13 lb Turkey
  • Branch and Vine Garlic-Infused Olive Oil
  • A Seasoning (or your preferred poultry seasoning)
  • Compound Butter (check out my oven roasted chicken recipe for the ingredients)

Instructions
 

  • Remove the turkey from the refrigerator, ensuring it has been brining for at least 20 hours. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  • Trim any excess skin or fat from the turkey. Prepare a compound butter and place it under the skin for added flavor.

  • Apply the Branch and Vine Garlic-Infused Olive Oil generously all over the turkey, ensuring an even coating. Use the olive oil as a binder for the seasoning.
  • Sprinkle A Seasoning (or your preferred poultry seasoning) evenly over the entire turkey. Massage the seasoning into the turkey, ensuring it adheres well.
  • Preheat the grill to 400°F (204°C).
  • Place the seasoned turkey on the preheated grill. Cook at 400°F for the first 30 minutes to achieve a beautiful color.
  • After the initial 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to 335°F (168°C) for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Rotate the turkey every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. Ensure it reaches a safe temperature for poultry.
  • Let the turkey rest for about 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. Carve the turkey into desired portions.
  • Enjoy the flavorful and juicy smoked turkey with your favorite sides.
