Ingredients:
– 1 whole turkey, approximately 12 pounds
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Place the whole turkey on a large cutting board or platter. Pat it dry with paper towels.
4. Carefully separate the skin from the turkey breast and legs, creating pockets for the marinade.
5. Using a brush or your hands, generously rub the marinade under the skin and all over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated.
6. Once the turkey is well-seasoned, place it on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and let it cook for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Throughout the cooking process, baste the turkey with any remaining marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
8. Remember to rotate the turkey occasionally for even cooking and to prevent any hot spots on the grill.
9. Once the turkey is cooked through and has a beautiful golden-brown color, carefully remove it from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board.
10. Let the turkey rest for about 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender final product.
11. Carve the turkey into slices and serve with your favorite gluten-free side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
12. Enjoy your perfectly grilled gluten-free turkey with friends and family, savoring the flavors of summer with every bite!
