LEMON HERB BUTTER ROAST SPATCHCOCK TURKEY | how to make the BEST Thanksgiving Turkey of your life!

The first time I ever hosted a Thanksgiving dinner, it was thisclose to being a complete and utter disaster. I'll spare you the details, but that experience made me determined to figure out how to make the easiest, most delicious Thanksgiving turkey possible, and this Lemon Herb Butter Spatchcok Turkey recipe is the result.
Enjoyed by thousands of PWWB readers every Thanksgiving since I first shared this recipe in 2016, it gets rave reviews every time for 2 main reasons:
✔️ It's perfectly juicy and tender - never dried out! This recipe uses a spatchcoked turkey, or one that has its backbone removed so it lays flat in the roasting pan, cooking faster and more evenly.
✔️ It's slathered in a boldly flavored lemon herb compound butter that's studded with lemon zest, garlic, and fresh herbs like rosemary, sage, & thyme. The butter drips down through the turkey as it roasts, perfuming it with so much good aromatic flavor.
Speaking from experience, there's a strong chance that this will be the year that everyone at your Thanksgiving table won't be able to stop talking about the turkey. ♡ Happy cooking!

Making this for Thanksgiving today!

Love to hear it! Let me know how it goes, I hope you enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving!

I used almost the same ingredients as you when I made the butter chicken with Provencal herbs. The only exception is that I did not use sage. It comes out exceptionally tasty, and really soft and juicy inside and the skin is crispy. Please take a look!

Looks delicious! I usually buy 2 smaller turkeys (10-12 pounds) on sale after the holidays and cook them the same way either on the smoker or in the oven a few times a year. It’s a great method because it cooks so quickly. No more dried out turkey breast. It’s a lot easier to carve as well 👍. Great video, love your channel ❤️✌️
