Big Green Egg Turkey Tips from Kelly Moore Sheds & Marketplace
Roasting turkey on a Big Green Egg brings out incredible flavor and moisture you just can’t get in a standard oven. At Kelly Moore Sheds & Marketplace in Williamsport, MD, we love helping families create unforgettable meals with the right outdoor cooking tools. Whether you’re preparing for Thanksgiving or a weekend feast, this method delivers a juicy, smoky bird every time.
Kick Off Your Big Green Egg Turkey Cook at the Right Temperature
Start by bringing your Big Green Egg up to 325°F using indirect heat. This is the sweet spot for roasting an 18 lb bird to perfection. A stable temperature ensures even cooking and helps lock in all those juices.
Add Smoky Flavor and Moisture with Prep Work That Counts
Toss in savory pecan smoking chips once your Egg hits temp. Use the convEGGtor for indirect heat and load the seasoned turkey onto a Vertical Turkey Roaster or rack. Add chopped onion and celery to a drip pan, then pour in chicken broth or water to keep your bird moist.
Track The Time So Your Turkey Hits the Table Right on Schedule
For an 18-pound turkey, roast for about 3 to 3.5 hours. Start cooking around 1 PM and check for doneness around 4 PM. The internal temperature should hit 165°F in the thickest part of the meat.
Let Your Turkey Rest Before Carving to Keep It Juicy
After your bird reaches the right temperature, remove it from the Egg and tent it with foil. Letting it rest for 15 to 20 minutes gives the juices time to redistribute evenly through the meat.
