Finally tried it. Cooked a spatchcocked 17lb turkey on a #7K. Indirect over a drip pan @ 375 degrees, skin side up. Pulled at 165 degrees internal. Done in 2 1/2 hours. Drippings were used for gravy, which resulted in a slightly smoky tasting gravy. Here is a picture. (Hope it works!)
Excellent juicy results. Randy |

Is that half of a 17lb bird? |

Louis: Looks like a whole bird . . . |

Yep. the correct number of legs, breasts etc. I've never done a turkey, but have spatchcocked lots of chickens, Louis. When they go on the K they do look deceptively small. Also the K'ing time goes well down. Harry |

Yes, it is the whole bird. Minus the backbone and innards. I was also suprised at how easily it fit on a #7. I new there was a reason for a #7! Almost over cooked it. 2 1/2 hours was my first temperature reading. I'm going to have to get myself a remote thermometer. |

Doesn't look like you even had to turn it...is that true? |

Did not turn it. Only time I opened the K was at the 2 1/2 hour point to measure the temperature and remove it. |

Ed, I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to upload. Please use either the \image{}, \imagelink{}, or \imagepair{} formatting commands to display photos. You used \attach{} which is usually used to upload a non photo (a word processing file, for example). There is help on formatting images if you click here. Your photo should display as:

Hello All, I'm Jack Curry and my #7 is on the boat as I write. I anxiously await its arrival (now scheduled for late Dec/early Jan) so I can try to duplicate Randy Yamamoto's spatchcocked turkey. Randy, that bird is a work of art. You have set a standard for looks and I am sure for taste too. I bow deeply to your work, you are my sensei. Jack |

As reported elsewhere, I cooked my spatchcocked 16lb turkey at 450° - next time I would go more slowly. |

Apologies, Randy. I blew the spelling of your last name. Yokomoto. A guy that does a turkey as beautifully as you did doesn't deserve to have his name misspelled. Sorry. Jack Crappy (Curry) |
