The Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey

Deciding how to cook the thanksgiving turkey can be stressful. In fact I recently read this poll: the average person will make “3 frantic phone calls for family help when cooking TG dinner this year” and even if they aren’t cooking, 61% will still get stressed out (SWNS 2020).

But a switch went off in my brain when I realized it’s pretty much the same thing as just roasting an extra large chicken. We can do this!

There’s a few things we need to prioritize:

1. Crispy skin
2. Juicy dark and white meat
3. Timing

The key to all of these is “spatchcocking”.

Crispy skin: The flat shape of a spatchcocked turkey faces all the skin upwards, allowing us to cook evenly at a higher temp.

Juicy meat: The exposed dark meat will cook faster and finish 20F degrees hotter than the lean white meat, for optimal internal temps (If cooked whole, the turkey would need to be pulled at around 160-165F, at which point the white meat would be over cooked, thighs undercooked).

Timing: Lastly the thinner shape allows an average sized turkey to be done in about 1.5 hours!

Dry brining is another important step (avoid if turkey is pre-brined), and the compound butter is an update from last years recipe. It imparts flavor under the skin, but perhaps more importantly, leaves us with buttery herb drippings that can be used to moisten up the turkey prior to serving.

Note: the USDA recommends cooking turkey to 165F (at this temp, poultry is pasteurized immediately). However pasteurization is a combination of temperature AND time. After pulling at 150, it will carry over to 160F during the rest, for a fully pasteurized (and way more juicy) turkey.

I tried doing this recipe for Christmas, and it was going well until my dad mistook Celsius for Fahrenheit, and I came back to a black turkey …

Super easy. I have been using salt and sugar dry brine for years and it always comes perfect. I leave it for two days uncovered in the fridge and let it do it’s thing. It’s so crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside.

My big sis is the complex cook in the family, and she can replicate just about anything she wants to. But... she's never been able to do so with a turkey I made when I was 12 years old. Aside from the special cut breakdown you did, this was pretty spot on for my own process, no lie. Being able to go to town with all my favorite seasonings and butter (probably almost 3 sticks lol), it was the juiciest and most flavorful turkey my family had ever tasted. (And this was probably 25 years ago.)

For all those saying it takes a whole day it's always best to dry brine the day before at least. When he said less than 2 hours he's talking about the cook time. Prep time is always longer.

It works really well. I put my stuffing in the pan underneath and it was fantastic. It cooks so quickly that you have to take that into consideration when you’re planning the side dishes

I made the best spatchcocked turkey today. Juicy, well seaoned. It was similar to this one, but I didn't dry age the skin or put a rub on it. I put combound butter under the skin with fresh rosemary, some salt and poultry seasoning. That's all I had.

If I suggested this method to my family they would say “but where would the stuffing go?” Edit: y’all need to chill about this, it ain’t that deep
