Smoked turkey to T-Day
I've smoked a turkey the last 3 thanksgivings and this year thinking about spatchcocking it. I brine and inject and use my favorite Cajun rub with apple chunks. I hear that spatchcocking shortens the cooking time. Is it all it's cracked up to be for turkey? I will do a 15lber. Love to hear some suggestions or comments? Thanks

If you don't care about presenting the turkey whole, spatchcock it.They/Them

This is the only way i cook turkey. You wont go wrong.

I don't because we carve at the table. Plus, I have not found any benefit to spatchcocking poultry besides the time savings. My unmolested birds come out just as moist but otherwise I do believe spatchcocking is a beneficial crutch since it allows everything to finish at once. I can accomplish the same thing with positioning. That's why I don't include it in my assessment.
