Hingle McCringleberry Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Heading out tonight with my extended "family" for a few. Tomorrow at my folks with one of my brothers and his family. Looking forward to the homemade stuffing. Usually eat the dark meat as well, Mom is a staunch traditionalist, and roasts until dry. Later in the day, will head to a few friends houses to say hi, and stuff more food in, after that, out for a few drinks, then home to sleep it all off. Hope you all have a good day.

GSG Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've read a few articles in the past week about spatchcocking the turkey to reduce cooking time and also helping to keep the meat moist. Anybody ever done this? Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Working today. So we're driving tomorrow. It'll be a crappy Thanksgiving day since it's an 8 hour drive. We're doing this b/c I didn't want to drive Friday. I heard there is a football game on. : Quote Link to comment
CornHOLIO Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 spatchcocking? (Tempted to look that one up but I'm at work). It's Holidays like this that I miss my family the most Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Spatchcocking does sound a little risque I suppose. It's when you remove the spine and the wishbone so you can open the bird up and lay it flat. It's essentially butterflying the bird. Quote Link to comment

Anybody ever done this? spatchcocking? (Tempted to look that one up but I'm at work). It's Holidays like this that I miss my family the most That's where you cut along the back bone of the bird and spread it open. I do this with chickens on the grill, I put bricks on top to push the skin down and make it super crispy. I would assume the technique would work on turkey. Although it might get crowded in an oven with that size of a bird. Are you grilling? Quote Link to comment
