Instructions

Set the temperature on the Traeger to 375℉ and preheat for 15 minutes. Tie the turkey legs together. Season the whole turkey with Traeger fin and feather rub.
Next, put the turkey on the grill gate and cook it for 30 minutes until the skin begins to brown.
After half an hour, lower the temperature to 325℉ and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165℉ when poking it into the thickest part of the breast with a thermometer. This should take about 3-4 hours.
To make the glaze mix all the other ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the temperature and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Brush the glaze over the turkey during the last ten minutes and let it cook for a further 10 minutes. Take the turkey off the grill and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
