Roast Spatchcock Turkey

Certainly it was much easier than cooking an actual turkey!

Recipe Summary Roast Spatchcock Turkey

This roasting method results in the juiciest, crispiest turkey cooked in a fraction of the time it usually takes. The secret is to remove the backbone and flatten out the bird. Carving is a whole lot easier, too. Once you try it, you might never go back.

Ingredients | Seitan Turkey Roast

1 (10 pound) whole turkey

½ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon crushed black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a roasting rack on a baking sheet.

Turn the turkey over, breast-side down. Using a pair of sharp heavy-duty kitchen shears, cut along one side of the backbone. Repeat on the other side of the backbone. Reserve the backbone for making turkey stock for gravy. Press firmly down onto both sides of turkey to flatten.

Tuck the wing tips under the turkey and place on the roasting rack. Pat skin dry and rub olive oil over the entire turkey; season with salt, sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, rotating baking sheet every 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and roast until skin is crisp, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove turkey from the oven, cover loosely with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Melted butter can be used in place of the olive oil, if desired. You can baste turkey with butter every 30 minutes while roasting.

Once you have removed the backbone from the turkey, you can brine the turkey before roasting.
