If you've never tried spatchcock chicken or turkey, give it a try sometime.

spatchcock, inject with tony chacheres creole butter liberally, rub with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with tony's bold creole seasoning, smoke at 325-375 until deepest part of thigh and breast temps out safely. generally about 1 1/2 to 2 hours on my ceramic grill. follow this recipe and i promise you will thank me later. i hate turkey but this stuff is good. my momma even said shed never cook a turkey again!!

...are there any other advantages, just curious. The bird cooks evenly, cooks faster, and taste better IMO.

Been doing it for 10 years as we give all our employees a turkey every year and ask them if they want me to smoke it . The night before I clean them and put my home made rub on them . Cover them in foil and leave them in a big ice chest and cover them with ice . Get the smoker to around 325 and smoke them till the outside color is just right . I use mesquite . Then wrap them back up in foil and keep them at 325 till the inside temp is right . SOO good and juicy .

I've smoked LOTS of Turkeys in my time. I may or may not inject the bird before smoking it. I've never brined one in my life. Might start doing it though. Never to old to learn.

I'm going with brine, then I'm going to spatchcock it, seasoning, probably use a small chunk of oak wood, 400deg until done. Agree! Done a lot of turkeys over the years that I only thought were good. We discovered brining and spatchcocking a couple years ago and absolutely the best! You will have people begging to make 2! I have to give Chickenman credit for spatchcock turkey since he's been doing it since 1996 so he basically invented it and without him it wouldn't exist. I give you more cred for posting it in the recipe forum and reminding me about it. This will be my first turkey spatchcocked. Been doing chickens for a while and that is the way to go. Looking forward to the turkey results. If it wasn't for you JWfish and maybe Chickenman a little my turkey will have sucked this year. I thought your probation terms said no more spatchcocking fowl.
