Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your gas grill on low heat (around 325-350°F). If using charcoal, arrange coals for indirect heat by pushing them to the sides, leaving an empty space in the middle. Maintain a low, steady temperature throughout cooking.
- Remove the turkey from packaging, then thoroughly rinse inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels. Allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Rub the outside of the turkey with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Generously season the turkey inside and out with this mixture.
- Place the quartered apples and onions inside the turkey cavity. Position the turkey in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Pour the wine and chicken broth into the bottom of the pan around (not over) the turkey.
- Place the roasting pan with the turkey on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and maintain a temperature between 325-350°F.
- After the first hour, begin basting the turkey with the melted butter every 30 minutes. This helps create a beautifully browned, flavorful skin.
- Cook the turkey until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F, about 4 hours for a 15-pound turkey (approximately 15-18 minutes per pound).
- Once done, carefully remove the turkey from the grill and tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 20-30 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute.
- Carve your perfectly grilled BBQ turkey and serve with your favorite holiday sides!
