## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 1 turkey, 5-15 lb. (thawed)
|
|
- 1-2 cups whipped butter (room temperature)
|
|
- 2 cup chicken broth
|
|
- 1-4 tbsp garlic powder (optional)
|
|
- 1 lb mixed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, broccoli, etc.) (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Mix garlic powder into the whipped butter.
|
|
2. Remove giblets and other materials from the turkey cavity.
|
|
3. Rinse the turkey and pat dry with a towel.
|
|
4. Liberally coat the turkey with the whipped butter mixture. Ensure the entire surface is coated.
|
|
5. Place turkey in a foil baking pan with mixed vegetables. If available, use a rack to elevate the turkey from the bottom of the pan.
|
|
6. Add chicken broth until it coats the bottom of the pan.
|
|
7. Cover the pan in foil.
|
|
8. Ignite the charcoal grill; arrange the coals for indirect cooking. Try to maintain a temperature of 300-400°F.
|
|
9. Place the turkey in pan on the grill and cook indirectly for 1 hour.
|
|
10. Remove the foil, and continue cooking over indirect heat.
|
|
11. Periodically (every 15-30 minutes) baste the turkey with its own juices. If the bottom of the pan is dry, add chicken broth and reduce heat.
|
|
12. Remove when the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160°F in the breast.
|
|
13. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
