Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat setting that allows for indirect cooking, creating a warm and inviting environment for your meal. \nNext, lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth cooking experience. \nPlace the turkey breast-side down on the preheated grill and sear it for a few minutes on each side, allowing the skin to develop a rich golden-brown color. \nIn a large roasting pan, combine water, bouillon powder, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, and paprika in a harmonious blend of flavors. \nCarefully position the turkey breast-side down into the roasting pan, covering it with the seasoning mixture to infuse every part of the meat. \nCover the pan tightly with foil and carefully place it onto the grill, allowing the turkey to cook slowly and evenly. \nContinue grilling until the meat reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), indicated by an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. \nOnce cooked, remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
