    This year I am quartering the turkey. Dark meat will go on an hour or so ahead of the white meat. 
    Or you could leave it whole and use the @mad max beyond eggdome method of placing ziploc bags of ice over the breasts to lower their temp prior to placing on the egg. 
    I've cut up the bird (couple of years ago), only because I could not get it to fit whole on MBGE. Even chickens, chop shopped out works well, legs on first, then breasts and wings. Nothing is overdone. 
    Re the MadMax ice process, try using gel packs, they stay in place a bit better. They wash up quite well. The other alternative is cook the bird breast down for the first hour, then flip it to finish. No need to ice. SWMBO showed me this, when she cooks turkey in the big white kitchen clock.

    Just bought an Egg?  Here is what you get to look forward to now:

    Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night.  Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs
