PB&J Turkey- this one's cool


1 whole turkey or segmented turkey
Injection Marinade:
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white grape juice
3 tbsp butter (melted)
1 tsp ginger
Peanut Butter Rub:
3 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
Glaze:
1/2 – 2/3 cup grape jelly
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp peanut oil
2 tbsp white grape juice
Begin by mixing all of the ingredients for your injection marinade. Fill an injector (kitchen syringe) and
begin injecting the turkey. Once the turkey has swollen with the injection and can’t hold anymore;
separate the skin from the meat of the turkey as best you can (but leave attached).
*Easiest way to do this is to run your fingers underneath the skin to help it separate.
Once the skin is separated, combine peanut butter and poultry seasoning. Start spreading the
peanut butter mixture under the skin of the turkey. After the peanut butter has been spread,
take any remaining injection marinade and spread over the skin of the turkey. Season with a little
extra butter and some salt and pepper.
Mix ingredients for the grape jelly glaze and refrigerate the glaze.
Pre-heat grill for indirect grilling at medium-low heat (300-315 degrees).
* If your grill is big enough, and your able to; make the center of the grill your cool spot, with
the heat coming from both sides of the turkey. If this is not possible, rotate the turkey every hour.
Place a drip pan under the grill on the cool side, add some grape juice and some water to drip pan.
Place turkey on the cool side of the grill. An average sized turkey should take 3-4 hours, but cooking times will vary.
An internal temperature of 170-180 degrees is a must!
During the last hour or so of cooking, start glazing your turkey. Once turkey has reached temp, remove from grill. (I glaze mine one last time).
Cover and let the turkey rest for 10 minutes. Then serve to all of your friends and family!
The turkey comes out very moist, and the flavour of a childhood favorite is a perfect match
with the turkey. So if you are looking for something a little different with such a traditional dinner; give this one a try! Enjoy!
