At the barbecue:
Prepare barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 140°C to 160°C.
Roast the turkey over indirect heat with the lid closed for approx. 4 hours until a core temperature of 75°C is reached. When the turkey is done, let it rest for 10 minutes.
Tip: To collect the juices and fat, take a drip pan, half fill it with water, and place it either on the Flavorizer™ bars if you have a gas barbecue or on the coal grate for a charcoal barbecue.
