For a deeper smoky flavor, add wood chips (hickory or applewood) to your grill's smoker box or in a foil packet directly on the grates. If your grill doesn't maintain a consistent low temperature, consider using an indirect cooking method with a water pan to help regulate the heat. Ensure the turkey is fully thawed before cooking for even results. Brining the turkey overnight can also enhance moisture and flavor.
