Grilled Whole Turkey with Herb Butter Injection

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Whole Turkey with Herb Butter Injection.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients and make sure your turkey is fully thawed and cleaned, with the neck and giblets removed.

2. Step 2

   This is the foundation for a delicious meal, so take a moment to prepare.

3. Step 3

   Next, fire up your outdoor grill and preheat it to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

4. Step 4

   While the grill warms up, place your turkey in a roasting pan, ensuring the breast side is facing up, ready to soak in all those wonderful flavors.

5. Step 5

   In a large pot, bring some water to a boil.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s bubbling, add in the cold butter, seasoned salt, ground black pepper, and chicken bouillon cubes.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything together until the butter melts and the bouillon dissolves completely, creating a savory broth that will infuse your turkey with moisture and flavor.

8. Step 8

   Now, grab a marinade injector and fill it with about 30 milliliters of this flavorful liquid.

9. Step 9

   Inject it evenly throughout the turkey, giving it a delicious boost of taste and juiciness.

10. Step 10

    Pour any remaining liquid into the bottom of the roasting pan, then cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to lock in all that goodness.

11. Step 11

    Carefully place the covered roasting pan on your preheated grill.

12. Step 12

    As the turkey cooks, take the time to baste it with the pan juices every 30 minutes.

13. Step 13

    This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.

14. Step 14

    You’ll want to grill the turkey until it’s no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, which should take about 3 1/2 hours.

15. Step 15

    To ensure it’s perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the thickest part of the thigh reaches at least 165°F (74°C).

16. Step 16

    Once your turkey is beautifully cooked, carefully remove it from the grill.

17. Step 17

    Cover it with foil and let it rest in a warm spot for about 10 to 15 minutes.

18. Step 18

    This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice tender and juicy.

19. Step 19

    After the wait, it’s time to slice and serve your perfectly grilled turkey, ready to impress your family and friends with its mouthwatering flavor! Enjoy the delicious results of your hard work!.
