Skinless & Spatchcock Smoked Turkey on the Outlaw

For today's recipe on Swine Life BBQ, I wanted to reinvigorate what a Thanksgiving Turkey was... I spatchcocked it, skinned it and got to work smoking this bad boy in my Outlaw Patio. This WILL BE your new Thanksgiving tradition!
#Thanksgiving #Skinless #SmokedTurkey
Skinless & Spatchcock Smoked Turkey
Ingredients:
Recipe:
Get your turkey and make sure to allow plenty of time to thaw in the Fridge.
This recipe is pretty straight forward and you can make it your own really easy! The only major difference would be removing the skin. This gave us the opportunity to make some great bark on this bird.
Get that bird seasoned and injected... Get it on your pit at 275-300. Once you get the color you want, wrap it up with some butter. Start your glazing process when the bird hits 155 and finish the cook at 160-165.
Never be scared to try something different and enjoy the cook!

Great twist on a turkey Mark! I do believe this is the first skinless turkey cook I've seen. Can't argue with the results! Excellent!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@bjsbackyardbuckeyebbq5820]

Your efforts to try techniques and processes that are non traditional is much appreciated and what separates your channel from others, it’s that willingness to try different things that is the future of BBQ

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thank you very much!

[@ryanwickham2]

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Followed this recipe to the "T" last thanksgiving and now my family won't let me NOT cook the turkey every thanksgiving and christmas. Thanks Mark.

[@stevemullin7472]

Tried this as an experiment 2 weeks ago. Amazing. I’ve never been able to preserve the skin on a smoker and it kills me to see all that hard work slide off the meat and be rubbery. This solved that and my family couldn’t even tell it was skinless. I’ll be doing a second attempt today. Great stuff Mark

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks for the feedback! I got 3 skinless smoking today! Happy thanksgiving!

[@hkct45]

Incredible looking cook!!! I am going to have to try this!!!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

You should!

[@alyezaserebo]

I'm literally drooling watching this video right now!! You killed this Recipe 🤤

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@valeryesanders8752]

Never seen a turkey done like that. But you gave me a idea for my turkey. Thank you.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@deanvoss7098]

Of course everybody on the Internet is doing a turkey right now and I just watched Malcolm Reeds before this one and yours is the one I want to try I've never done one without the skin and it looks amazing.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Definitely!!! Thanks!!

[@waymor2460]

Been spatchcocking the turkey for years but I’ve never seen anyone remove the skin. Definitely will give this a try this year.

[@steveguzman6640]

That is one I will be trying for sure. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@waymor2460]

Just FYI because of your video I used this method on thanksgiving and it was a hit. Only difference was I spatchcocked the turkey. Having the seasoning directly on the meat instead of the skin makes it more flavorful.

[@timdwyer2718]

Most interesting turkey video I’ve seen. Love it !

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@bradcampbell624]

Never even considered skinning a bird! But this looks outstanding. I'm going to do a dry run with a chicken. Thanks!!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Definitely try it! Treat it like a rib and incorporate all the flavors you like!!

[@nprewitt5503]

I’m late to the game but wondering if you did this with a chicken and if so, how it turned out….

[@darrylovia]

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Kerrygold is the butter of the Heavens!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Brother new sub here from the land downunder, I’m a massive fan of turkey and would never have dreamt of skinning one but man o man that looked insane, I’m on it thank you mate

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It was legit a great Turkey! Thanks

[@jamiet9254]

Great video Mark! Definitely gonna try this one!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@harrillwiggins1375]

🤔🤔🤔. Might have to give this a try. Well done sir!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@thisoldbelair]

Wow what a crazy awesome idea! Looks amazing. I wonder how this would go with a whole chicken. I’m going to try it on my Weber kettle! Another Great video, Mark! 🇺🇸

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Chicken turns out amazing as well!

[@tynazelrod]

I am going to try that this weekend I have a Turkey I need to cook and some family coming down from Tennessee I hope it comes out as good as yours looked

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Keep us posted how it turns out!!

[@wmbrice]

Great job, Mark! KerryGold makes everything better.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

That's a fact!

[@Toad1973.]

That looked good 👍

[@lx2nv]

Dang that looks great! I may have to try!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks

[@Pittmeister79]

I wanna try this this year, but on a Weber kettle grill and keeping the skin on.

[@lt4rocious400]

Naked ..is where its at...lol.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

LOL

[@bobdillon7832]

NICE bird! So, howabout on a pellet smoker? I am trying to cook everything on my new Z-Grill 1000E as I LOVE the smoke flavor!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Should cook it just fine!

[@dadssmokehouse]

Hey Mark, how did you like these results vs the wet brine and more traditional cook you did last year? Also, I noticed the you used all apple cider for that wet brine vs half cider and half water, was the all cider better?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I definitely liked the flavor in the skinless turkey. I bet if you brined it also it would be outstanding. I think the apple cider was great! Most store bought apple ciders aren’t that strong and don’t need to be diluted. But I am also a huge fan of ciders LOL...

[@thedude4241]

Love it man! Skin is so overrated!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Agreed... When its good it's great but if the skin is the best part of the bird... I didn't do something right LOL..

[@chrisfulton8396]

How long does it take to cook

[@CheatDayKerry]

I'm gonna try this. I'll smoke it and then put it in a steam oven.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

PERFECT!! Let us know how it turns out!

[@FakeName39]

How much spice carried over? Fantastic cook

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! It wasn’t spicy at all. Just a good hint. Had an amazing flavor!

[@BobSmith-zj5lt]

beautifully done, thank you, what is the recipe for the sauce?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! The sauce was just Killer Hogs Vinegar and Hot Sauce mixed. Nothing Fancy..

[@chasefox7551]

Wanting to give this recipe a try. I know we are cooking to internal temp, however, what is the approximate cook time on this bird?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It actually cooked a good bit faster. About 2.5 hours.

[@williambelott1897]

great vid Mark;; just wondering if this would work with skin on it?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I’m sure it would. Just wanted to try something different.

[@williambelott1897]

@@SwineLifeBBQ absolutely love your work and also when you're with Malcolm. You guys are the only 2 to watch

[@m1a1abrams3]

meat church literally just uploaded a vid on turkey legs. cant be a coincidence. also LETS GO BRANDON

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@ryanbramich6951]

Love the method here Mark! How did the legs turn out without the skin on and have u ever tried this method on a chicken?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! They turned out great but the breast was definitely better.

[@daddyteddy85]

Naked bird 🤣🤣🤣

[@rowluxillusion5235]

Interesting recipe, but I would always advise spatchcocking a bird with shears, using a knife to do that is just too dangerous.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I could see that, shears to help for sure. Thanks for watching !

[@Stitch2Scope]

😔 you took the best part off
