Ingredients 10 Servings
- 2 cups wood chips
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Garlic Powder
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Paprika
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Thyme Leaves
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Rubbed Sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bone-in turkey breast, (about 5 to 6 pounds), fresh or frozen, thawed
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Soak wood chips in enough water to cover for about 30 minutes. Drain. Place about 1 cup of wood chips in center of each of 2 sheets of aluminum foil. Fold tightly to make 2 packets. Poke several holes with fork on both sides of packets to allow smoke to escape. Set aside.
- 2 Prepare grill for indirect medium heat (350°F to 375°F). Preheat grill by turning all burners to medium.
- 3 Mix butter, garlic, paprika, thyme, sage and salt in small bowl until well blended. Rub 1/2 of the mixture under skin of turkey. Rub remaining mixture over entire surface of turkey.
- 4 Turn off burner(s) on one side of grill. Place foil packets directly on grill rack over lit burner.
- 5 Place turkey, breast side up, directly on unlit side of grill. Close lid. Grill about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from grill. Let stand 20 minutes. Transfer turkey to platter or carving board to slice.
