Step 1

Preheat Traeger grill to 250 degrees.

Step 2

Rinse turkey inside and out in cool water, pat dry.

Step 3

Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan.

Step 4

Melt 1 stick of butter in a bowl, then add in all of the spices/seasonings, whisk together.

Step 5

Rub the turkey all over with the butter mix, inside and out, and get it under the skin, too.

Step 6

Place the turkey in the roaster, UNCOVERED on the grill and close the lid. Set a timer for 2 hours. Do NOT open the lid during this time.

Step 7

When the timer goes off, add the second stick of butter to the bottom of the roaster, and cover the turkey.

Step 8

Turn the temperature up to 325 degrees, and roast for another 90 minutes. Check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast, it will reach 165 degrees when it's done. If it hasn't reached that after 90 minutes, cover and continue roasting, checking every 20-30 minutes until it does.
