Hot and Fast BBQ Turkey

Step 1

Rinse turkey thoroughly under cold water, then blot dry with paper towels. Place on a greased rack of a roasting pan. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the injection solution: in a saucepot, whisk together the turkey stock, honey, olive oil, smashed garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Smoked Salt & Pepper Rub and chili flakes. Add in the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 3

Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool for 30 minutes, then strain.

Step 4

Using an injection needle, inject the solution throughout the turkey. Rub 1 tablespoon of solution over the top of the turkey. Add water to the bottom of the roasting pan. Set aside.

Step 5

Fire up your Pit Boss pellet grill on SMOKE mode and let it run with lid open for 10 minutes then preheat to 450° F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for high heat.

Step 6

Transfer the turkey to the grill and roast for 100 to 120 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165° F is reached, rotating every 30 minutes. Tent with foil after 30 minutes, then brush all over with Sweet Heat BBQ sauce during the final 10 minutes of roasting time.

Step 7

Remove from the grill, and allow the turkey to rest for 30 minutes, then carve and serve warm.
