Step 1

Preheat your Traeger to high, following factory directions. For most models this will be around 400°-450°F.

Step 2

Place the bird breast-side down with the legs pointing towards you, and cut up either side of the backbone through the ribs to remove the spine.

Step 3

Flip the turkey over, season well on both sides, and place skin-side up onto your pre-heated grill. You can also place it in a pan if you want to catch the drippings!

Step 4

Grill on high heat for 30 minutes, and then turn the temp down to 325 for the remaining 45 minutes.

Step 5

Check your turkey at around the 60 minute mark because it may be done already depending on the size of your bird! You want it to be at 165° no matter where you test it.

Step 6

Remove from the grill, let rest for 15-20 minutes, and then cut into pieces and serve.
