Start with a natural turkey that hasn’t been pre-brined, then make your own brine. Brining your turkey keeps it moist and juicy and allows you to impart whatever flavors you like.

Make a compound butter with herbs and spices and spread it under the skin of the turkey breast to really bring out the flavor and color.

Bastes and spritzes are a great way to bring additional flavor to the turkey. Spritzing with pineapple juice is Tuffy’s go-to.

To perfectly cook the white and dark meat, you need to check the temperature in multiple spots. Pull the turkey off the grill when each part reaches these temperatures.

Let the turkey rest for at least 1 hour before carving.
