HOW TO MAKE A SPATCHCOCK TURKEY
______________________________________________________________
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- 15 lb turkey
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- Rosemary infused olive oil - amzn.to/2JxbdZg
- Garlic infused olive oil - amzn.to/2JxbdZg
BBQ RUB
- 1 1/2 Tbs Kosher Salt
- 1 Tbs sage
- 1 Tbs rosemary
- 1 Tbs thyme
- 1 Tbs oregano
- 1 Tbs black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 Tbs sugar
STEP #1
To prepare your Spatchock turkey, you will first of all need to remove the backbone by cutting it out with kitchen shears. Once the backbone is removed, snip the wishbone then flip the turkey over and press down firmly until you hear the breast bone crack and your turkey is laying flat. Once spatchcocked, trim up any unwanted fat and other things you may not want to eat.
SETP #2
With your turkey spatchcocked, it's now time to inject it with your butter/olive oil mixture. This will help you add extra flavour to the inside of the turkey. Fill up the breasts and the legs. After the turkey has been injected, apply your BBQ rub to the outside of the turkey on both sides making sure to get into all the nooks.
STEP#3
With your Turkey ready for the BBQ, place it onto the grill opposite the coals, add in some wood for smoking, then close the lid and begin cooking between 325-350F.
STEP #4
After around 2-2.5 hours (depending on size of turkey) your turkey should be reaching around 165F in the breast and around 185F in the thighs. This is perfect! Pull it off the grill, let it rest for 10-15 minutes and then slice it up and begin the feast!
That's it..

[@PostalBarbecue]

Thanks man. Give this method a try, it works great every time!

Easter turkey was a huge success! I may never cook one in the oven again. I made my own infused oil. You could taste the rosemary in every moist bite!

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW JUICY THIS TURKEY WAS!! --------> QUESTION: What's your favourite way to cook your holiday turkey?

[@daddydutchbbq]

Stay tuned Jabin, because of your last turkey video, I am going to inject this one instead of brining. Cooking it whole with USS CBP !

[@PostalBarbecue]

@@daddydutchbbq oh I’m sold on injecting with infused oils and butter like this now over brining. Soo much flavour in the meat.

[@ryanwhite84045]

Hi Jabin, I'm new to a smoker. I've always owned a gas grill. I'm excited to try this recipe! It looks fantastic. Question for you...when you let the turkey rest, do you cover or leave uncovered? Thanks for the great videos!

[@jsant24]

Looks fantastic! Question: how open were your bottom and top vents during the cook to maintain the 330 degrees?

[@GrizzAxxemann]

I did my thanksgiving bird this way. 2 hours total cook time for a 10lb turkey. The best damn turkey I have ever eaten! I just wish my skin was crispier!

[@PostalBarbecue]

Yes!!! So good right!

[@wppkinsguy72]

nicely done

[@PostalBarbecue]

Thanks a lot. I hope you give it a try.

[@wppkinsguy72]

@@PostalBarbecue you bet, I'll let you know

[@GenXisT]

Sorry for the delayed comment this week. Needless to say here in the US, we've been a bit... preoccupied! This is another well done cook. Looked SUPER juicy. I like doing mine the old fashioned way, in the oven, and I also give a 2 hour nap afterwards. This helps keep it moist for the tons of leftovers for 18 weeks after Thanksgiving. What's the range on that Meater+? I bought some wireless model a few weeks back and connection broke after like 30ft. totally useless. Finally, you have a trademark/signature with the "get ready for the taste test!" I'm going to keep hounding you until you change the music back!!!

[@PostalBarbecue]

Delayed for sure...!! What gives?? Lol. You are right about it being juicy, there was literally a pool of juices. Sooo good!

[@jjwpostoak]

Turkey looks great. Can you provide a link to the butcher block/cutting board in the video?

[@PostalBarbecue]

Thanks man!! The cutting board is just ikea. Super inexpensive and I have been using it for a number of years with no issues.

[@cougargold]

because of latent heat transfer, should you pull it off at 160 degrees? It will continue to rise in the center 5-10 degrees after pulling it off. correct?

[@Bill-N-Carolina]

That turkey looked amazing. I just sold my 18.5 WSM so I'll be doing this exact thing on the kettle in a couple of weeks. I do have a question though. I usually put the dark meat away from the SnS due to it being a little warmer on the edge away from it. I'm pretty sure I've seen you do a chicken like that too. Any reason for the breast meat towards the back edge this time? Does it really make a difference?

[@PostalBarbecue]

It doesn’t make a huge difference. The main reason I did it this direction was to be able to fit it on the grill. The back of the grill is getting more convection heat while the front (especially bing right up close and even over the reservoir slightly) is getting a bit more radiant heat. I hope that makes sense. Either way though it will produce a great bird as you can see in some of those final shots. Yum!!!

[@edracz1224]

New to your videos. Great job. Question though...do you not trust the "meater" as much as you do the thermapen? I love the Thermapen but always wanted to try the Meater. I also use my "Smoke" from Thermoworks.

[@PostalBarbecue]

Hey man. Welcome here. I trust them both but I always like to confirm temps with an Instant read just to be sure. You can also check other spots that are further away from the meater. Hope your turkey turns out great this year!

[@jcortiz948]

Se ve 😋

[@PostalBarbecue]

cheers!

[@jjwpostoak]

Great job! Can you provide a link to the injector you used?

[@PostalBarbecue]

this is just a cheepo that I pick up at walmart..

[@lovebbqnoles367]

*When should you Inject a Turkey before grilling?* Wussup Brotha, I'm So Excited and Nervous!! This is my 1st Thanksgiving Turkey🦃 !! I'm Dry Brining my Turkey Now, (Tuesday 11-23-2021) and I Plan To Grill it On My Slow 'N Sear® Kettle Grill (Early Thursday, Thanksgiving Morning 11-25-2021) My Question Is When Would You Use a Butter Injection Marinade or any Marinade, (NOW as the Turkey is Dry Brining or Before you start Grilling?) Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Please Help

[@njhampster]

Looks excellent! And you didn't rub the skin with butter? I earned a free turkey from the grocery store. Will be doing this next week.

[@michael-mvtd]

Although you started with the Meater+, you didn't refer to it later on but used an instant read thermometer instead. Did the Meater work as supposed to or not? Did you wait till Meater said 165?

[@PostalBarbecue]

Yeah it always works great but it’s good to be in a habit of double checking temps with an instant read. :)

[@MrFurnaceface]

Hey Jabin, looks awesome but I need to ask you where you find your infused olive oils? I’ve been trying to find them down island here in Victoria with no success. I probably won’t be doing a turkey like this until Easter as the wife kinda insists on the traditional oven roast variety for Christmas. On the bright side I do get to smoke a glazed ham on my kettle over the holidays. Hoping Santa brings me a Slow ‘n Sear.

[@PostalBarbecue]

Hey man. Those oils were found at Costco originally last Christmas so look there. Also I saw them at Walmart last week to so that might be an option as well. They are from terra delyssa

[@MrFurnaceface]

@@PostalBarbecue the Walmarts here in Victoria only carry the regular EVO in that brand. We’ll keep an eye out at Costco.

[@cougargold]

You can make your own infused oils pretty easily. There's a lot of good recipes on google. Here's a couple I found that will work great. Cheers.

[@Bouchergator09]

What would be the difference if you brined it first?

[@tomevans5458]

For the rub. Table salt or kosher salt? Thanks!

[@PostalBarbecue]

sorry, kosher salt. I updated the description for you.

[@tomevans5458]

@@PostalBarbecue That's what I thought. Just checking. Thanks!

[@DanielGovGilroy]

Not sure if i missed it in this video, but did you brine this turkey at all?

[@PostalBarbecue]

No I did not.. I simply injected it with that butter /infused oils to add moisture and flavour..

[@cougargold]

If you're turkey has been pre-injected with salt solution, then skip brining. It will over salt the bird. If it's a farm direct or shot bird, then brine away. Cheers. (Made this mistake once myself).

[@jsac99]

Do you use unsalted butter?

[@PostalBarbecue]

it's up to you. if you are dry brining overnight than use unsalted. If you are salting(putting the rub on) right before than the salt doesn't have time to fully penetrate through the skin and into the meat so salted butter is fine to us. Hope that makes sense and helps.

[@stevegarza1643]

Have a 26lbs turkey do you think this would work for that? How long eould you say it might take?

[@DwayneBrimhall]

Figure 11 to 12 minutes per pound. For a 26lb bird your looking at 4 to 5 hours depending on your temperature. A thermometer will help dial in the temp to completion. With a bird that big you will more then likely need to add more charcoal during the cook.

[@67polara]

Oh man you worked that needle like my dentist! You're not a dentist are you?? lol

[@PostalBarbecue]

Hahaha. No but maybe that’s a new career option. Haha.

[@gwenelder8608]

[@kylelesage6726]

Cutting out the backbone is my least favorite part! I think I need better shears. Any suggestions?

[@PostalBarbecue]

yeah, i agree. Mine are getting to the point where i need to replace them too.

[@iwanajeep6924]

I use a knife

[@jasonpapas5815]

Pick yourself up a pair of Cutco Kitchen shears. Pricey, but you won’t regret it

[@hallsappliancerepair6215]

not trying to be a dick but i mean 165 is done especially 170 my thoughts are that you stop cooking at 150 155 and it reaches 165 170 because it keeps cooking after leaving an oven or grill you cover and wait 25 minutes and its perfect again it looks great but i thought thats what you do with any meat so correct me if im wrong please

[@rossbodenmann]

How dare they short change you a wing tip

[@PostalBarbecue]

Right!!! Those guys, always robbing us of the turkey parts! Lol.
