    So, yesterday was a busy day for the most part then it was nap time. Lol......

    Not many pictures for two reasons.... my wife put all of the dressings together on Wednesday and my camera isn't working. I did manage to get a picture of the turkey that I cooked.

    Mine was a 22+ lb'r that was thawed then put to brine Wednesday morning about 4:00 am. Wednesday evening I rinsed it well and cut the backbone out like if it were being spatchcocked then into the fridge it went to air dry overnight. I removed the backbone to help in it cooking quicker and more evenly but it wasn't flattened so to say like real spatchcock cooking. About 7:30 yesterday morning I took it out of the fridge and seasoned the cavity area and the outer skin well and into the Pit Boss it went. The timing was perfect cooking for about 4.5 hours and it was juicy and delicious!

    Here's my 22 lb'r after it was done.

    Looks good! I’ve cut the backbone on chickens but never thought to do it on a turkey . I suffered through the 10 hour cook job on mine. Did a beer and cider brine And it came out well. Will give the cut job a try next time.

    Nice job on that big gobbler !
    I cooked three Wednesday for turkey and deer sausage gumbo.
    Got too busy to cook the 4th one so I was thinking of spatching it and laying on the smoker today or tomorrow.
    Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving
