Gary got me up at 6:15am and I dashed downstairs to light the grill. It was misting and cold outside. I took the turkey out of pot and scooped off alot of the herbs to mix with 1 & 1/2 sticks of softened butter. I applied that to the bird but I need someone to tell me how to apply the butter consistently. Mine was in lumps and did not smooth out very well. Mad Max suggested that you fill a pan with water so I used part of the brined mixture along with an apple, a lemon, an orange, 2 onions, 2 sticks of celery and 2 carrots to keep moisture in the grill. We could also use this for gravy or for a turkey broth to use for a leftover recipe. I put the items in a foil pan but as I was getting ready to put it on the plate setter I discovered it would not fit. I ran for the green egg pan and Gary helped me transfer the pan items so we could get everything in the BGE quickly. Gary placed the turkey directly on the grill grates.
