Steps:
- Preheat Traeger grill to 250 degrees.
- Rinse turkey inside and out in cool water, pat dry.
- Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Melt 1 stick of butter in a bowl, then add in all of the spices/seasonings, whisk together.
- Rub the turkey all over with the butter mix, inside and out, and get it under the skin, too.
- Place the turkey in the roaster, UNCOVERED on the grill and close the lid. Set a timer for 2 hours. Do NOT open the lid during this time.
- When the timer goes off, add the second stick of butter to the bottom of the roaster, and cover the turkey.
- Turn the temperature up to 325 degrees, and roast for another 90 minutes. Check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast, it will reach 165 degrees when it's done. If it hasn't reached that after 90 minutes, cover and continue roasting, checking every 20-30 minutes until it does.

GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES AND SMOKED TURKEY
Steps:
- Place the turkey tails and onion in a 4-quart Dutch oven and fill halfway with water. Season the water with the salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat until the meat falls off the bones, about 2 hours. Remove and discard the bones and skin; return the meat to the pot.
- Add the potatoes and green beans to the Dutch oven and simmer until the green beans are very tender and the potatoes can be pierced easily with a knife, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet, then add the garlic and remaining teaspoon black pepper and cook for 2 minutes. When the beans and potatoes are done, scoop with a slotted spoon to a serving dish and drizzle with the garlic butter.

Steps:
- Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle some of the spice rub inside the cavity of the turkey. Separate the skin from the breast meat with your fingers, starting at the top of the breast and sliding to the right and left, then working down. Massage some of the rub onto the meat under the skin. Sprinkle the remaining rub on the turkey's skin. Place the turkey on a sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours so the flavors can marry.
- Set a rack at the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips under. Place the turkey in a roasting pan. Drizzle the outside of the turkey with a few tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the turkey about 3 hours, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Transfer the turkey to a platter, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving.
