Grilled Turkey (Gas Grill). When grilling a turkey on a gas grill you will want to use wood chips. You can put the wood chips in a smoker box or in a built in smoker box if your grill has one. Allow your turkey to thaw in the refrigerator before grilling.

A gas grill with a temperature gauge is definitely the way to go, I can't imagine trying this on a charcoal grill. The difficulty in grilling or grill-smoking a whole turkey is bringing the breast meat and the dark meat to the perfect turkey done temperature at the same time. I often use two remote thermometers when I cook turkey in a gas grill, with one probe in the breast and another in a thigh. You can cook Grilled Turkey (Gas Grill) using 17 ingredients and 11 steps.

Cooking turkey on a gas grill seals in the juices and creates a crisp, browned skin that's difficult to achieve in the oven without overcooking the breast itself. Indirect Heat for Grilling a Turkey. Whether using a gas or charcoal grill, indirect heat is the way to go when preparing a turkey. Be sure to set you your gas grill accordingly and if using a charcoal grill, arrange your coals in a pattern that prevents any part of the turkey from sitting over a direct flame.

Grilled Turkey (Gas Grill) step by step

Rinse and prepare turkey, pat dry inside and out, then season cavity with salt and pepper (I will place gizzards, heart, liver, and neck into sauce pan seasoned with salt and pepper covered in water to boil to use later for gravy) OH, and be sure that your bird will fit under the grill cover when closed!!!.
Rinse and pat dry fresh sage, tie into a bouquet with cooking string, place inside of Turkey.
Rinse 2-3 clementines, pat dry, then poke exterior of fruit with cloves. Place these inside of Turkey.
Peel whole garlic cloves, then place inside of Turkey.
Tie off legs and tail nice and tight to keep ingredients from falling out and set aside.
Peel 2-3 clementines and grind the peelings fine in food processor. Place into mixing bowl along with ground sage, ground cloves, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Mix and stir in Extra Virgin Olive Oil to create a paste..
Rub seasoning paste all over the exterior of the Turkey, every nook and cranny covered. Tie off wings. Place on “V-rack”, breast side down inside of aluminum drip-pan to catch drippings, set aside...BUT if you have a rotisserie, that much better!!!.
Prepare gas grill. Turn on outside burners only, you want to use indirect heat. Heat to 350f for about 10-15min before grilling. Be sure you have a full propane tank, nothing worse than running out of propane half way through, yep been there....
Place Turkey on grates, pour orange juice and water into drip-pan. Close grill cover.
Grill turkey for about 12min per pound of Turkey. Carefully flip your Turkey half way through the cooking time. The completed temperature should read 165f. Try not to open cover until half the cooking time has lapsed when you will need to flip bird..
Bring your turkey inside, tent a loose piece of aluminum foil on top of turkey and let rest for 20min before carving.....

I Googled "How long to bake a turkey in a gas grill" and your site came up. Fortunately I have a Redi Check thermometer. I was able to read in the house on the receiver the gas grill temp and the food temp. I placed the turkey on a rack on top of a roasting pan on the grill grates. Although not very traditional, grilling turkey is the best way of cooking it -- it comes out tender and juicy every time!
