Spatchcocked turkey

[iCARRY]

Man was this turkey good. It was so good there was none left.

I spatchcocked an 11lbs bird on Wednesday morning. Injected it with an entire jar of creole butter, kosher salt and fresh black pepper on the skin. Let it dry out in fridge for 24 hours. Early this afternoon I transported it to my brothers house and set up the grill. A full chimney of KBB, water pan/drip pan with boiling water, got temp settled in at 375, and put chunks of apple wood on. Put some olive oil on the skin and started cooking. Took about 1:40. Bird was amazing, skin was so crispy, meats was just flowing with juice. I now have to do one like this every year. I will change a few things next time though. Aim for a lower cooking temp, shield the legs with some foil, and maybe get a 26 OTG. Here are the pics.

Oh yeah and the wife made these pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting.

Sorry no pics of the other food or plated pics. Everyone was hungry and I was chasing my two toddlers around.

My brother fried a turkey as well just in case mine took too long or nobody liked it. Well everyone loved it so much that it disappeared and there was leftover fried turkey.

Nice, rich color on that ......if you can get a 22" to do it like that, a 26" will be a breeze !!!


I could eat those cupcakes 'till I tilted over sideways....tell the wife, Good Show also !!!! 

(recipe, if you get a minute in between toddlers !!!)

Good Deal, thanks......

we just got back from grouping up stuff to do several jellies, cookies, pickled corn relish, etc. so I'll try to sneak this into the lineup........

Pickled corn relish, that sounds great. I love pickled things. All summer long I make my own pickles plus other veggies like zucchini, peppers, and green beans.

She gets going pretty heavy on putting up batches of stuff sometimes.....



The corn relish has dill &  red bell pepper, corn mostly & sugar & the pickling spices.....not sure what else.......slightly sweet, but with a nice tartness to it......I can gather a recipe or link if you'd like........

[iCARRY]

That would be great
