Buttery Turkey

If you're looking to enhance your BBQ skills, a buttery turkey is a must-try dish that takes full advantage of your grill. Begin by choosing a quality turkey, ideally between 12-14 pounds, for optimal cooking. Preparing the bird involves using soft butter mixed with herbs, spices, and even citrus for that extra flavor. Allowing the turkey to marinate overnight can infuse the meat with incredible taste and juiciness. When grilling, use indirect heat for a longer cooking time, ensuring every part is evenly cooked without drying out. Additionally, using a Traeger grill or any pellet grill can provide a smoky essence that pairs beautifully with butter. Remember to baste frequently to keep the skin crisp and flavorful. Once cooked, let the turkey rest before carving—it’s essential for preserving moisture. Serve it with classic sides like mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, and you'll have a spectacular BBQ turkey feast that everyone will rave about!
