    Intriguing to spatchcock a turkey. I've done several chickens, but not a turkey. Did you brine the turkey? I do when I smoke them. I'd go raised, indirect around 375-400. Guessing 1.5-2 hours. Keep an eye on IT

    What @robnybbq said!... Brine, 375 ~2.5 hrs depending on your own interpretation of "done", 165 for us... Best turkey EVER!
