1. About 14 hours before grilling, in a very large bowl whisk all of the brine ingredients, except the ice water, until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the ice water. The brine should be very cold.
2. Remove the giblets, neck, and lumps of fat from the turkey and reserve (discard the liver). Place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to grill. If the turkey has a plastic truss or a pop-up timer, remove and discard it. Place the turkey inside a sturdy plastic bag and put it in a 10-quart or larger stockpot. Pour enough of the brine into the bag to cover the turkey as much as possible when the bag is closed and tightly tied. Discard any extra brine. Seal the bag. Refrigerate the turkey for at least 12 hours and no longer than 14 hours.
3. Remove the turkey from the bag and discard the brine. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat it dry inside and outside with paper towels. Put one-third of the chopped onions and all of the thyme sprigs into the body cavity. Tuck the wing tips behind the turkey’s back and loosely tie the drumsticks together with butcher’s twine. Brush the turkey all over with the melted butter. Place one large disposable foil pan inside of the other to create a single pan of double thickness. Put the remaining onions into the pan and place the turkey, breast side down, on top of the onions. Allow the turkey to stand at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling.
4. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (about 350°F).

Barbecued Turkey with White Wine Gravy Poultry …

WEBJul 8, 2013 · Prepare the grill for cooking over medium heat (400°F). Put 2 cups of the chicken stock, the onion, and carrot inside a heavy-duty …

1. In a small bowl combine the garlic, parsley, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of pepper, the chili powder, orange zest (reserve the oranges), and butter. If your turkey has a metal or plastic trussing clamp, leave it in place. If the turkey has a pop-up thermometer, discard it. Starting from the neck end of the turkey, carefully separate the skin from the breast meat with your fingers. Push about half of the butter mixture onto the breast meat under the skin and spread it out evenly. Use the other half of the butter mixture to cover the top and sides of the turkey evenly. Generously season with salt and pepper. Quarter the oranges and place inside the cavity of the turkey.
2. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
3. Put 2 cups of the chicken stock, the onion, and carrot inside a heavy-duty roasting pan. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack, and set it inside the pan. Grill the turkey over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed. Check the turkey after the first hour. If any parts are getting too dark, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil. If the pan looks dry, add the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock so the pan drippings don’t burn. Check the turkey again after another hour. Cover any dark areas with foil. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh (not touching the bone), 2¼ to 3 hours total. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving (the internal temperatures will rise a few degrees during this time). Meanwhile, make the gravy.
4. Strain the juices from the roasting pan into a large heatproof glass bowl or measuring cup, leaving any browned bits in the bottom of the roasting pan. Discard the solids. Let the liquid stand for 3 to 5 minutes while the clear yellow fat rises to the top of the juices. Skim off the fat and put it in a small bowl. If necessary, add enough melted butter to total 6 tablespoons of fat.

1. About 14 hours before grilling, in a very large nonreactive bowl whisk all of the brine ingredients, except for the ice water, until the salt is dissolved. Stir in the ice water. The brine should be very cold.
2. Remove the giblets, neck, and lumps of fat from the turkey and reserve (discard the liver). Place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to grill. If your turkey has a metal or plastic trussing clamp, leave it in place. (If the turkey has a pop-thermometer, discard it.) Place the turkey inside a sturdy plastic bag and set it inside a large stockpot. Pour enough of the cold brine into the bag to cover the turkey as much as possible when the bag is closed and tightly sealed. Discard any extra brine. Seal the bag. (If you don’t have room in the refrigerator, or if you don’t have the right sized pot, put the turkey in the bag in an ice chest and surround it with ice.) Refrigerate the turkey for at least 12 hours and no longer than 14 hours.
3. Remove the turkey from the bag and discard the brine. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat it dry inside and outside with paper towels. Put one-third of the chopped onion into the neck cavity, and pin the neck skin to the back skin with a skewer. Put the remaining onion into the body cavity. Tuck the wing tips behind the turkey’s back and tie the drumsticks loosely together with butcher’s twine (or insert them into the plastic or metal truss, if there is one). Brush the turkey all over with the melted butter. Place one large disposable foil pan inside of the other creating a double thickness. Place a roasting rack in the pan. Place the turkey, breast side down, on the rack. Allow the turkey to stand at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling.
4. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (about 350ºF).
