    I’d counter that with suggesting sous vide

    1. Hard to fuck up
    2. Also frees up the oven (for most of the cook time)
    3. The equipment is cheaper than the equipment for frying a huge ass bird
    4. Impossible to burn your house down with hot water

      Also a strong option. I sous vide almost every other meat, but how do you finish the turkey?

        Just chuck it in the oven for ~30 mins at 450°F. Definitely spatchcock tho so it’s not in there long enough to dry out.

          I could see spatchcocking it and throwing it on the grill, but my wife always has big plans for baking and the oven(s) are always busy right up until showtime.
