Slow Roasting a BBQ Turkey Breast on a Rotisserie
If you’re looking to take your BBQ game to the next level this summer, why not try slow roasting a BBQ turkey breast on a rotisserie? This technique not only ensures a juicy and flavorful turkey, but it also adds an element of theater to your grilling experience. In this article, we will guide you through the process of preparing and roasting a turkey breast on a rotisserie, and even show you how to make a delicious shwarma sandwich with the leftovers.
Preparing the Turkey Breast
Before you begin, make sure to properly clean the turkey breast. Rinse it under cold water and remove any giblets that may be inside the cavity. Then, trim any excess fat from the outside of the turkey breast. Once you’ve prepared the turkey breast, pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.

Rubbing the Turkey Breast
To enhance the flavor of the turkey breast, it’s important to rub it with a combination of spices. Start by applying a generous amount of butter to the skin of the turkey. This will help to lock in moisture and add richness to the final dish. Next, combine cumin and coriander in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the buttered turkey breast. Massage the spices into the skin, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Setting up the Grill
To slow roast the turkey breast on a rotisserie, you’ll need to set up your grill for indirect heat. Preheat your grill to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and turn on the outside two burners, leaving the middle burners off. This will create a zone of indirect heat on which you will place the turkey. Additionally, turn on the rotisserie burner located on the back of the grill.
Placing the Turkey on the Rotisserie
Once your grill is preheated and set up for indirect heat, it’s time to secure the turkey breast onto the rotisserie spit. Make sure the turkey is centered on the spit and fasten it tightly with the provided prongs. Carefully insert the spit into the grill, making sure it is securely seated in the rotisserie motor. Ensure that the turkey is positioned evenly on the spit to ensure even cooking.
Adjusting the Counterbalance
To ensure that the turkey cooks evenly and doesn’t put too much strain on the rotisserie motor, it’s important to adjust the counterbalance. This is usually a weight that is attached to the spit on the opposite side of the turkey breast. Slowly move the weight along the spit until you find the perfect balance. This will ensure that the rotisserie motor operates smoothly and that the turkey cooks evenly.
Activating the Rotisserie
Once the counterbalance is adjusted and the turkey is securely fastened to the rotisserie spit, it’s time to activate the rotisserie motor. Turn on the motor and make sure it is rotating smoothly. This slow and steady rotation will allow the turkey to cook evenly and develop a delicious, crispy skin.
Closing the Grill
To maintain a consistent cooking temperature and ensure the heat remains trapped inside, it’s important to close the grill lid. This will create an oven-like environment and help the turkey breast roast slowly and evenly. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge on your grill to ensure that it stays within the desired range.
Monitoring the Temperature
Throughout the cooking process, it’s crucial to monitor the internal temperature of the turkey breast. This will help you determine when it is fully cooked. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, being careful not to touch the bone. The turkey breast is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, adjust the grill temperature to ensure that the turkey cooks and reaches this temperature.
Checking for Doneness
Once the turkey breast reaches the desired internal temperature, carefully remove it from the grill. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into it. The juices will redistribute within the meat, resulting in a tender and juicy turkey breast. Slice the turkey and serve it as is, or use it to make a delicious shwarma sandwich.
Building a Shwarma Sandwich
To make a shwarma sandwich using the slow-roasted BBQ turkey breast, you’ll need some additional ingredients. Start by spreading a layer of yogurt on a piece of pita bread. Add slices of fresh cucumber and then pile on the juicy turkey slices. Top it off with some slowly caramelized onions that have been cooked in the drippings from the turkey. Roll up the pita bread and enjoy your homemade shwarma sandwich!

With a few simple steps, you can achieve a juicy and flavorful turkey that will impress your friends and family.
