Ingredients

  • 1 (12 pound) whole turkey, rinsed and patted dry
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2
Place turkey, breast-side down, onto the preheated grill. Sear on both sides until skin is golden to dark brown.

Step 3
In a large roasting pan, mix water, bouillon powder, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, and paprika together.

Step 4
Place turkey, breast-side down, into the roasting pan and scoop seasoning mixture over top. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place onto the grill.

Step 5
Grill until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
