Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled BBQ Turkey with Apples and Onions.
Step 1
Start by preheating your gas grill to a low heat, creating the perfect environment for a deliciously roasted turkey.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, take your softened butter and generously rub it all over the turkey, making sure to coat both the inside and outside for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Next, evenly spread the chicken soup base over the turkey, adding a savory depth to your dish.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine apple wedges, onion wedges, butter cubes, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Mix these ingredients well, and then stuff this delightful mixture into the turkey's cavity.
Step 6
To keep everything secure, fold the skin around the neck area to seal it in.
Step 7
Now, flip the turkey over and pour dry white wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is filled or the bottle is empty—this will keep the meat moist and flavorful.
Step 8
Position the turkey breast side up and insert a pop-up timer or a heat-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
Step 9
Loosely cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil to help retain moisture.
Step 10
Place the roasting pan on your preheated grill and close the lid.
Step 11
Roast the turkey until the internal temperature in the breast reaches 170°F (75°C) and the thickest part of the thigh reads 180°F (80°C).
Step 12
This should take about four hours, but keep an eye on it as grill temperatures can vary.
Step 13
As your turkey nears completion, remove the aluminum foil to allow the skin to crisp and brown beautifully during the final minutes of cooking.
Step 14
If you notice it browning too quickly, don’t hesitate to cover it again with foil.
Step 15
Once your turkey is perfectly cooked, carefully remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Step 16
This resting period is essential, as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice is tender and juicy.
Step 17
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and the delightful aroma that fills the air!.
