Much to my mother in law’s chagrin last year, I spatchcocked our Thanksgiving turkey last year. She did hers in the traditional manner. My bird was perfectly cooked and on the table a full hour and a half before hers. This year, not only am I spatchcocking, but I’m putting it on the pellet grill. 😊

Spatchcocking makes all the difference! My family did the typical turkey in the oven. Nothing wrong with that, but this is one of my go-to methods.

I started spatchcocking my turkeys a few years back and was amazed how much better it cooked and in the flavor too. Only way to do them IMO!

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

It is a great method, thanks for watching👍

I’ve got to get some shears like those. Look much more heavy duty than mine.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

High quality tools make it much easier! Thanks for watching 👍

I did this for the first time a couple of Thanksgiving‘s ago, it’s the only way to cook a bird! It cooks even and the seasoning gets spread more easily and thoroughly over the whole turkey.

It definitely is a great method, thanks for watching!

Spatchcock then half it. Turkey halves are much easier to work with. Also I’d rather do two 12lb Turkeys over one of those giant ones.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Good idea!
