Spatchcock Turkey Recipe

Step 1

Place the spatchcocked turkey on a large baking sheet. Season the spatchcocked turkey with olive oil, Kosher salt, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Rub the seasonings all over the turkey, including under the skin.

Step 2

Place in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 24 hours.

Step 3

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to roasting. Use a paper towel and blot off any excess moisture on the turkey.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5

Place the turkey in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue roasting for an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a quick read thermometer in the thigh registers at 170 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

Remove the turkey from the oven. Allow resting for 15-20 minutes before carving.
