Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 - turkey (20 to 25 pounds)
- 1/2 pounds - butter softened
- 8 sprigs - thyme
- 8 - to 10 sage leaves
- 6 cloves - garlic minced
- 1 - shallot diced
- 1 sprigs - rosemary roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoons - cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoons - kosher salt
Directions:
Start the grill. Bring grill to 500-550 and preheat, with lid closed, for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn down grill; set the temperature to 350 degrees F. Indirect heat.
In a food processor, combine butter with minced garlic, thyme leaves, chopped rosemary, black pepper and kosher salt.
Prep the turkey by separating the skin from the breast, creating a pocket to stuff the butter-herb mixture in. Cover the entire breast with 1/4-inch thickness of butter mixture.
Place any extra herbs in cavity. Season the whole turkey with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place turkey on the grill and smoke for 3-4 hours. Check the internal temperature, the desired temperature is 175 degrees F in the thigh next to the bone, and 160 degrees F in the breast. Turkey will continue to cook once taken off the grill to reach a final temperature of 165 degrees F in the breast.
Cook for 11 to 13 minutes per pound.
