  On a cutting board, combine garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and scallions. Chop together until the mixture forms a paste. Set aside.

• 3

  To spatchcock the turkey: With a large knife or shears, cut the bird open along the backbone on both sides, through the ribs and remove the backbone. Once the bird is open, split the breastbone to spread the bird flat; this will allow it to roast evenly.

• 4

  With the bird breast side up, season the exterior with half the Traeger Fin & Feather Rub then follow with 2/3 the herb mixture rubbing it into the bird. Drizzle with olive oil. Flip the bird and season generously with the remaining Fin & Feather Rub.

  Place the turkey directly on the grill grate and cook for 30 minutes.

  The finished internal temperature should reach 165℉, but the temperature will continue to rise after the bird is removed from the grill.
