Ingredients

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1 Large Spanish onion, finely chopped

3 Cloves garlic, minced

1 Medium jalapeno pepper, finely diced

2 Tablespoons ancho chile powder

1 Teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 Cups canned plum tomatoes with juices, pureed until smooth

1/4 Cup ketchup

1/2 Cup cold water

1 Tablespoon chipotle puree

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

3 Tablespoons molasses

2 Tablespoons honey

2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar

To taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 12-pound WHOLE TURKEY, fresh or thawed

As needed vegetable oil

Molasses BBQ Sauce

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 4 –5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno and cook 1 minute. Add ancho chile powder and cayenne. Cook 1 additional minute. Add tomatoes, ketchup, water, chipotle puree, vinegar, Dijon, molasses, honey and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook mixture until reduced by half, about 25-30 minutes. Mixture should be thickened. Let cool before using.

Grilling

Prepare grill for indirect heat method. Remove giblets and neck from neck and body cavities; drain juices and pat turkey dry with paper towels. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Return legs to the tucked position. Brush turkey, including backside, with vegetable oil. Place turkey, breast up, on cook grate over drip pan. Cover grill and cook turkey to an internal thigh temperature of 180 degrees F and to an internal breast temperature of 170 degrees F, about 2¼ to 2¾ hours. About 30 minutes before turkey is done, place 1 cup Molasses BBQ Sauce in a separate dish and generously brush on turkey. Cover and reserve the remaining sauce. When turkey reaches desired internal temperature, remove from grill and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Serve with reserved Molasses BBQ Sauce.
