Gas Grill Turkey

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the turkey is fully thawed. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. (5 minutes)

Preheat Grill: Preheat your gas grill to 400°F (200°C). Ensure even heat distribution across the grill surface. Place the turkey in a sturdy roasting pan, breast-side up. (10 minutes)

Prepare Basting Liquid: In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then add the butter, seasoned salt, pepper, and bouillon cubes. Stir continuously until the butter is completely melted and the bouillon cubes have dissolved. (10 minutes)

Inject and Baste: Using a marinade injector, draw up 30 ml of the flavorful liquid. Inject the turkey thoroughly, focusing on the breast, thighs, and drumsticks. Pour the remaining liquid into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. (15 minutes)

Grill the Turkey: Place the covered roasting pan with the turkey onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes. To baste, carefully remove the foil, spoon the pan juices over the turkey, and re-cover with foil. (3 hours)

Check for Doneness: After 3 hours, remove the foil. Continue grilling for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the skin is a deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure accuracy. (30-60 minutes)

Rest and Carve: Once the turkey is cooked through, remove it from the grill. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm place for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (10-15 minutes)

Carve and Serve: Carve the turkey and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious, smoky flavor of your gas-grilled masterpiece!
