  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place turkey into a roasting pan with the breast facing up.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in butter, seasoned salt, pepper, and bouillon cubes until butter melts and bouillon dissolves.
  • Draw 30 milliliters liquid into a marinade injector; inject all over turkey. Pour remaining liquid into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake on the preheated grill, basting every 30 minutes, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove turkey from the grill, cover, and let rest in a warm area for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
