EGGARY Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 I have Spatchcocked my Turkey and it is now brining away. Since the turkey is Spatchcocked do I cook in Direct or indirect ? On one Forum I was advised Raised Direct at 400. Is that a bit too high ? I have to have the Turkey done by 1pm as we have to be at my In-Laws at 2pm. Thank you.
heavenlyink Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Re: Spatchcock Turkey That is how we cooked our Thanksgiving bird. We baked it indirect at the temp 325* to 350* for 3hrs. With 3 to 4 small chunks of hickory wood and Royal Oak Lump. We brined a good 32 hrs also. I think 400* is to hot. I consider when cooking or baking indirect its like an oven and i wouldn't bake a turkey that hot if i have no idea what temp i go with 350*.
