Creating the perfect Pellet Grill Smoked Turkey is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Thaw the Turkey: If frozen, thaw your turkey in the refrigerator for several days before cooking.
2. Prepare the Brine: Optional – if using a brine, soak the turkey in the brine solution for at least an hour.
3. Preheat the Grill: Set your pellet grill to 225°F (107°C) and allow it to preheat.
4. Prepare the Turkey: Remove the giblets and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
5. Season the Turkey: Rub the olive oil all over the turkey. In a bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Apply this seasoning mix generously under the skin and all over the turkey.
6. Insert a Probe Thermometer: Place a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bone.
7. Place Turkey on the Grill: Put the turkey on the grill grate and close the lid.
8. Smoke the Turkey: Smoke the turkey for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Baste (Optional): Every hour, you can baste the turkey with its juices or additional olive oil to enhance moisture.
10. Rest the Turkey: Once done, remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.
