1st Time Spatchcocked Turkey

TCT

Decided to help the wife out and cook Thanksgiving turkey on my BGE. 12 lb bird, injected and rubbed. Indirect  at 375 for 2 hours with 2 chunks of apple. Guests said it was the best turkey they ever had. Guess I got lucky, but it was a very easy way to cook the turkey.

What did you inject it with? I am doing my first spatchcocked turkey next weekend and recently bought an injector but I am not sure what to inject with? Just melted butter?

I Spatched my first one yesterday.  No injection.  Tsunami Spin Dizzy Pig rub.  Came out great! If I was to inject,  probably would have used apple juice, cider vinegar, melted butter, worstershire, spices.

That's one of the best looking spatchcock turkeys I've seen. Did you cook that on a raised grid?

Injected with Turkey Gold (2 oz per breast and 1.5 oz per thigh) and rubbed with Turkey Traditional both from  www. tastylicksbbq.com.

I tried this injection stuff this year and it was really good.

Terrebandit,
Thanks for the kind words! Used inverted platesetter with grid on same. Only thing I  wish I had done differently was to raise drip pan from platesetter as whatever dip drip burned!
