Perfectly Grilled Turkey
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 pound) whole turkey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Get your outdoor grill ready for medium-high heat, but use the opposite side of the grill to achieve indirect heat.
2
Rip out the internal cavity and toss those useless packets away. Give your turkey a good rinse under cold water, then gently pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3
Tuck those wings back so they don't interfere with the skin on your neck, and secure them in place.
4
Rub that turkey all over with some oil to keep it moist during cooking, and sprinkle a blend of herbs, salt, and pepper inside and out to add flavor.
5
Place the turkey breast-side up on a metal grate, which is usually located at the bottom of a large roasting pan.
6
Put that roasting pan over indirect heat on your preheated grill and let it cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of your thigh reaches a safe 180 degrees F (85 degrees C).
7
Take the turkey off the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
