It really is a much better way to cook it. That looks great amigo, I hope it was delicious.
I have started fully breaking is down and separating the wings and drums, then spatchcocking the rest so I can get each part cooked just to their respective done-ness. It also helps it fit in my grill...
That looks amazing and I bet it tasted just as good.
For anyone wondering if it looks terrible .... just because it doesn't look pretty doesn't mean it tastes bad. This type of cooking ensures everything is cooked through evenly and at the same rate.
The turkey was ethically raised and harvested by a local farmer. I know that's not as ethical as raw veganism obviously, but in fairness there is no ethical consumption under capitalism so I strive to exploit shit "less". I will not, for instance, support the commercial fishing industry and I won't eat factory farmed meat. That turkey had a pretty good life for a turkey, it was safe from non-human predators, it always had enough to eat, and the farm is huge with plenty of space to range. Even in death it's sacrifice fed an entire family and nothing got wasted, which is more than most human beings do.
As for pedantry... it was already processed and lacked the awareness to be fond or not fond of anything 😉

I cook everything on a 22" Weber, this pretty much maxed it out. I will probably break it down a little more next year, legs at least

We did the same with a chicken on the pellet grill. Delicious.

Spatchcocked is the way. Next time put that on top of a deep cast iron pan full of dressing or roasted veg.

Everyone loved your turkey?
Did it get a good stuffing?
DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d
Vag cocked... I mean, spadgecocked.

A wee bit crispy. Worth covering with foil at first and regularly basting as Turkey can get a bit dry.
bizzle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 249d
Lmfao nah man it looks like that on purpose. Still juicy I assure you.

Not to be pedantic, but I'm pretty sure the turkey wasn't too fond of it.

and his name was Gregory.
Adderbox76@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 250d
He preferred "Greg". Only his wife (now his widow) called him Gregory.

Does this hurt the turkey?
bizzle@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 250d
Well it had already passed away

It was an ex-turkey.
