I’m going to start practicing this now for the holidays

[@jimspishak4244]

Thank you Ry for the best Turkey we and all the family have ever had.

[@CookingWithRy]

I’m so happy to hear that 😊

[@milesrobertson6882]

Thanks again and happy thanksgiving. I check this one out every year before I do my turkey as a refresher. Cheers.

[@RonOnTheGrill]

Man, any time I'm looking for tips on cooking something specifically on the weber kettle, and you always have a video for it. More importantly though, you always teach me something with the flavor profiles you add to your food. I haven't seen anyone else glaze their turkey. I have one on the grill right now, I'm definitely going to add a glaze. Keep up the great content brother.

[@BadlyDubbed]

This made 2024 Christmas Dinner work out beautifully, thank you Ry.

[@CookingWithRy]

Awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@MrPonkie]

Fixed a turkey this year on the grill with your instructions in mind. Had this vid saved since last year. The best turkey we’ve ever had!

[@billbill4392]

Great results from spatchcocking for sure. Hard to beat the affordable and practical Weber kettle. This has inspired me to try the spatchcock method, thanks.

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Ry, Thank you for taking the time to post up videos. Your talent in presenting full details, and options in a slow and concise manner during the cook is what sets you apart from the rest . You are definitely one of the Best You Tube cooking Chefs and I really thank you for the recipes.

[@CookingWithRy]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@joses109]

Wow...Thank you for a great video of cooking a Turkey on the grill...Where can I get the cast iron grating from, please and thank you so very much.

[@CookingWithRy]

It’s listed in the video description.

[@joses109]

Thank you so very much...sorry I missed the link on your video but I had excellent results following your guide...thanks again...👍

[@BigLewBBQ]

Man oh man! Turkeys are my absolute favorite thing to cook. Yours looked awesome. I'm also a proponent of injecting over wet brining. I really liked the way you cooked it on top of the onions, peppers and carrots. That neck skin is my favorite part to taste test too. Eating it before you carve it is a pitt master privilege. I love what you said about competitions, I'm just fellow who likes to cook too. Some say barbeque is sport, others science, but I think it's art. I just like to create it, not compete with it , nor study it.

[@CookingWithRy]

Yeah that little triangle of neck skin that's left....yummmmm :)

[@grilledcheese33]

Followed this video to the T today and the turkey was perfect. Very tasty and moist. Thanks for the great video!

Great looking turkey RY! The Weber is a smoking machine! Great color on the skin and it was nice and juicy too. 👍🏼

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks, my friend :)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Great job on the grilled turkey Ry! That was turkey perfection!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thank you, my friend :)

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Love the color on that bird...👍👍

[@nrvous67]

Well done looked good will try that method.

[@KevinPeffley]

Here’s a few recommendations for doing spatchcock. First score the bird on both sides of the spine with a sharp knife, then use your shears along those lines. Because poultry skin is rubbery, your shears will find their way to cut more easily through the flesh and bones along the spine. Second, while using your shears, make short cuts through those rib bones with the front of the shears, not the very end. This will give you more steady and powerful cuts, especially if you’re cutting through a turkey. Third, after removing the spine, press your sharp knife into the cartilage at the top of the breast inside the bird. Now press the bird back on your table with both hands, and the breast will naturally crack open. Lastly, if you want, you can now remove that breast bone by carefully shaving away the flesh on it and pulling it up and out. This last step will allow you to more easily split the bird apart after it’s finished cooking. Cheers!

[@PaleojayBowers]

Great video Ry!!

[@OSOsBBQ]

That color, that juice, that glaze, Ry that is just amazingness! Thank you for sharing

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks!

[@TheMayhem15]

Great technique there RY, especially bringing up the point of closing down the vents after you were glazing. Super video man.

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks so much :)

[@ronandloisgraham6763]

Ry, I followed this video when doing my Turkey today. At least the spatchcocking and using my Weber Kettle and I basted half of it with your mix (honey and bbq). But, I used BBQ Pit Boys brine recipe (Apple cider, etc) and let it sit in that overnight. The turkey came out great and was delicious, even though I messed up and didn't add charcoal in time and temp dropped. Took a little longer but the end result was good. Thanks for video. Ron

[@CookingWithRy]

The end result is what matters 👍

[@4MzBBQandGRILL]

Beautiful color on that bird. Nice rub, injection, and glaze you made. Great work as always sir 👍🏻

Thank you :)

[@KillerSwordsman2008]

I looove love love grilling turkey. When ever me and my husband found out you could do that about 5 years ago, we haven't made it any other way. I never heard of injecting a turkey though. o.O We always brine the turkey over night. I've always found that if I don't brine, it always comes out dry (before I figured out grilling it), but when I brine, even if I don't grill it, it always comes out super moist. I love grilling it though because that skin comes out amazing and it kind of helps hold in the moisture of the bird. You're turkey looks amazing too!! Keep up all the awesome work!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks! Yes, brining is wonderful :)

[@Tbcz]

Should really inject it

[@matthewwysocki5019]

Ry, great video - very helpful.

[@stinkylosers]

How long was this on the grill to reach temp? looks amazing great detail

[@CookingWithRy]

If I didn't mention time in the video then I wasn't tracking it since I was aiming for an internal temp :)

[@aliazmi8543]

Hi Ry! You always do such a fantastic job with your cooks, and the video's turn out awesome. Well done sir!!

Thanks!

Hey Ry, Thanks so much for this video. It looks amazing. Going to try this weekend (thanksgiving for us Canadians. Eh!). Gave me an opportunity to add to my BBQ collection. Ordered a digital instant read, dual probe cooking meat thermometer and stainless steel injector from Amazon. Love your videos. Very detailed. Thanks again. Cheers From Montreal, Quebec

[@Robert-po8jn]

Thanks, I had been debating on what size turkey I could do on my kettle spatchcocked.

[@CookingWithRy]

This one fit just about perfectly :)

[@brittsbackyardbbqngrill]

Nice cook Ry. That bird was juicy and tender looking. I cooked a 12# on the Bronco @ 350 for 2 1/2 hours. I have a turkey beer can cooker but I did like you. I split that sucker and opened him up. I'm paying attention as & the wife could not believe it ; I made me a glaze and at hour 2 gave that Tom a bath. Lord help me as I was doing that I said to myself "Ry would be proud that I'm stepping out of the box." Nice cook and always great Video.

Great recipe, Ry! Thank you. Just made this on my kettle with a few modifications (lower temp for a little longer; some dry rub variations for a more cajun flair) and it turned out great!

Absolutely cosmic so simple to BBQ can't wait to give it a go

[@googlereviewer2743]

Would a gas grill have just as good results as a charcoal grill? I know you can have a smoke box in a gas grill too but would it still be as good as a charcoal grill?

[@CookingWithRy]

Not quite as good but I’ve had great results on the gas grill :)

[@googlereviewer2743]

@@CookingWithRy Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it. I guess I might just go for the Weber Genesis 2 over the Weber Summit Charcoal. :-)

[@lostinop1373]

Where can i find a grate like that for my weber. What came with my 22 is a flimsy wire version.

[@CookingWithRy]

It’s from Malory. I usually link it in the video description.

[@dwayne85261]

Love your video's!!!

[@jeilafranchise8514]

Hi guys! Quick question. Why do you want the legs facing the heat? I would figure they would cook faster?

[@CookingWithRy]

The legs (dark meat) can tolerate a higher finish temp 😊

[@jeilafranchise8514]

@CookingWithRy right on. Thank you! P.s love your videos! Really personable and quality recipes. :)

[@riosecco4142]

Good cook, Ry! I love the color of the crispy skin. This year I am attempting to cook our turkey in my new Pit Barrel Cooker. I am a little concerned about getting the skin crispy, and I hope it turns out half as good as yours looks!

[@edwardprokopchuk3264]

Noticed you’re using the napoleon grate on your Weber kettle… Any particular reason for doing that? You prefer the napoleon grate or Weber kettle grill? The turkey looks great btw!

[@CookingWithRy]

That’s not the Napoleon grate. It’s the Malory M1 Cast Iron Grate. I love it. Great heat retention 😊

[@edwardprokopchuk3264]

@@CookingWithRy ah, I see 😅 Thank you!

[@EEconomos]

I barbecued a 12 pound turkey on my Weber grill this year (2020) laying it flat directly on the grill just like in this video. The legs were done in one hour. The breast meat took an extra half hour. I then took it off the grill and covered it for an hour. So cooking time was only 1.5 hours and resting another half hour to an hour. I live in California where the outside temperature was about 55 - 60 degrees which may account for the turkey taking only 1.5 hours to cook. I got a lot of complements and will probably do this again,

[@nuvitcelikgil1442]

Ry, Looks great! Hopefully going to repeat myself this Thursday... Can't wait to try it. Hey overall how long was your cook time on that 12lbs bird?

[@CookingWithRy]

Right around 3 hours :)

[@tomcooke6670]

Have you ever tried meter plus for monitoring you internal temp and ambient temp. I use mone a lot and do like it. My only complaint is I have no way to calibrate it

[@CookingWithRy]

I haven’t used that.

[@tomcooke6670]

I really use meater plus a lot. I think you might find it a very useful and convenient part of your grilling arsenal

[@circle_g_]

Great recipe. If you ladle about 1 gallon of boiling water on the skin and then dry brine over night the skin will come out crispy and delicious after cooking. The boiling water breaks down the fat in the skin that makes it crisp while cooking

[@lyon-bondyekratos-radah919]

[@juan70hill]

On my list between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[@jerryburge3918]

Two questions: 1) Do you have a cast iron grate on there? 2) Did you have to add charcoal throughout and how often?

[@CookingWithRy]

It is a cast iron grate. I only add if needed to maintain either temp or burn time.

[@jernigan007]

setting the bird on the veggies. great idea

[@robinesau4120]

Looks great Ry. Could you do this on the PBC or would it be to much direct heat?

[@CookingWithRy]

You could definitely do it. I've done turkeys hanging on the PBC a number of times so a spatchcocked bird should be just as easy :)

[@thomastommy1192]

You are mean to that turkey, LOL>>> Breaking it's back don't seem right, LMBO. Cool video thumbs up thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

[@gerryorlandostagehand3705]

That looks amazing! I cook a lot on PBC and cook turkey quite often. I seem to get rubbery skin on the legs. I'm going to try the dry brine and give that shot. What would be better hanging it, laying flat or does it matter ? Thanks for great video.

[@CookingWithRy]

I find that spatchcocking and cooking flat does help the skin dry nicely over the entire bird :)

[@stephenseidl3389]

I like the idea of putting veggies under the turkey! What was the overall cook time on this? I am going to do this at Thanksgiving this year.

[@CookingWithRy]

If I didn’t mention the time I didn’t track it since I was cooking to an internal temperature. Though I recall a similar cook I did taking about 3 hours.
