I do my turkey in a Weber kettle, indirect heat. I massage the bird inside and out with butter then season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. I cook it for the first hour breast side down and then finish it 1-1 1/2 hrs breast side up. It comes out golden brown and very juicy.
I forgot to mention, I use Kingsford briquets with mesquite and add some extra chips.
