Ingredients
Method
- Prepare your grill for indirect heat cooking. For a gas grill, preheat to low heat (around 325°F/165°C) with burners lit on one side only. For charcoal, arrange coals on one side of the grill and maintain a steady, low temperature.
- Thoroughly rinse the turkey inside and out under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry spices: garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the turkey all over with olive oil, including under the skin where possible. This helps the spices stick and promotes crispy skin.
- Season generously with the spice mixture, making sure to get some inside the cavity and under the skin.
- Stuff the cavity with the quartered apples and onions. These will infuse moisture and flavor throughout the cooking process.
- Place the turkey breast-side up in a disposable aluminum pan or on a drip pan.
- Pour the white wine and chicken broth into the pan around (not over) the turkey.
- Position the pan on the cooler side of the grill (away from direct flames).
- Close the grill lid and maintain a consistent temperature between 300-325°F (150-165°C).
- After the first hour, begin basting the turkey with the melted butter every 30 minutes.
- Cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (without touching bone) registers 165°F (74°C). For a 15-pound turkey, this will take approximately 4 to 4.5 hours.
- If parts of the turkey are browning too quickly, cover them with small pieces of aluminum foil.
- Once done, remove from the grill and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 20-30 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute.
- Carve and serve your delicious BBQ turkey to your amazed family and friends!
