I was sick with the Flu last week so I missed the small Turkeys when they went on sale at Kroger. Wednesday I went to another store and we found them for a good price.
Ended up with a 12 pounder. I thawed it out overnight in a ceramic stew pot. I did some research and decided to Spatchcock the bird.
I cut out the back and cut along the sides of the breast bone. I injected the turkey with Creole Butter and Rubbed it with Weber KC barbecue rub
I let the turkey rest at room temperature while I got my fire going. I banked my coals put on some Pecan wood, then some more coals to get the heat high enough.
Here are a few more pics
Final pic & plated pic! The turkey was done in 3hrs.
(The turkey was already in my mouth! )
