Spatchcocked Turkey on the Traeger

thisjewcanque
When you spatchcock a turkey-- taking out the back bone and pressing the turkey mostly flat-- you end up with a bird that cooks more quickly and evenly than when whole. This affords you meat that cooks fast, remains moist and is full of wood-fired flavor!
