Spatchcock turkey refresh

I totally forget what I did with spatchcock turkey last time I made one. 400 raised direct for about an hour and a half (to temp of course) sound right enough? Got one brining today, will let dry out in fridge with some baking soda tomorrow.

I would probably do that. Sounds like a winner. Post pics when done.

That's what I do. Toss on a couple of extra legs.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Got to use the ar for the first time to do direct raised. Used dizzy pig red eye. Turned out really good. It was a little dry by the time I ate it since we ate about an hour after it was finished, but good turkey nonetheless.
Plated with brussel sprouts and my favorite--carrot soufflé.

That looks really good, thanks for posting. What did you think of the red eye with turkey? We used it on corn on the cob for the first time last night and it was surprisingly spot on. It was not or favorite on tri tip, but I'm finding it surprisingly versatile on non beef cooks.CheersB_BFinally back in the Badger State!

I do lots of spatchcock turkeys and my recommendation is 11/13 lbs as they taste better (IMO). If more protein is needed just add a few extra legs or do a second turkey.

I'm going to fire my Mini too for what they call a Beef Filet of Shoulder. Had them before and they are pretty good. They work great on the Mini. Love that little cooker.Dan, Columbia,Mo.

@revolver1 we all know the Mini is just a TOY )Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
Yeah I've become a believer in the 12 pounders. This was half of a 16 pound turkey. The other half is finishing up now. You can fit an 18 pounder if I remember correctly, but I like the smaller ones better. Easier to work with, cooks faster, and easier to do different flavors with separate birds.Dunedin, FL
