Grilled Roast Turkey

Grilling Preparation Prepare the grill for indirect grilling. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Herb Butter In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Season with salt and pepper.

Seasoning the Turkey Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the turkey cavity with salt and pepper. Carefully loosen the skin over the turkey breast and spread the herb butter evenly under the skin.

Grilling the Turkey Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Grill the turkey indirectly over medium heat for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Resting and Carving Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.

Gravy While the turkey is resting, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, whisk together the turkey or chicken broth and flour. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.
