Spatchcock Turkey?

Posts: 615
I'm thinking of trying something different this year and spatchcocking my turkey and cooking it direct. I plan to use a smaller turkey for this. I checked at Giant today and most of the smaller turkeys are Butterballs, which I've heard you shouldn't brine (I always brine smoked turkeys).[p]Are there any good places in the MD/DC area for a smaller turkey that isn't injected? I'll probably try Safeway and Shopper's tomorrow.[p]Also, will regular polutry shears work on a turkey back or should I buy a stronger tool? (some kind of small garden shears or something).[p]Any tips/stories on spatchcocking a turkey?

I didn't brine this one, cut, wash, seasoned with mustard and rub, indirect, until done.

Meinbmw,
it was last year and you know another year older doesn't mean wiser. About 16 lbs, cook at 325, about 3.5 hours.
