Spatchcock

Spatchcocked Turkey has the backbone removed and bird flattened for fast even roasting or grilling. More skin exposed to heat. Weight the bird if it bows. As a spatchcock section of whole, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Cook turkey spatchcock to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Roasting, smoking, deli slicing, and mince show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
