If you remove a turkey’s backbone won’t it look like a RINO.

If Elaine Chao saw that quivering on the platter, she’d pile on. Speaking of turkeys.. Mitch was out hunting for bird? Who’s his guide, Dick Cheney?

I use two different methods. A turkey breast goes into a crock pot. Throw in Turkey legs to flavors the gravy. Or, I cover it with Reynolds wrap and bake at 450°. If anyone wants the Times for the second method, just ask. Turkey cooks in about 3 hours or less.

spatchcocking involves cutting the turkey - basically removing the backbone - so it lays flat.Heck -- why not just chop it up like a fryer and roast the pieces?

Spatchcock your Turkey?
Didn’t I see here, just last week, about a guy doing that to a goat?

Or wrap your stuffed turkey in two layers of aluminium foil and cook in the oven for about 2 and half hours. Brown and done. One of my girlfriends taught me that years ago. Her turkey was always delicious.

Spatchcocking a turkey is a beautiful way I'm sure it is.

Sure, just use this handy Ronco pocket spatchcocker.
Looks kind of like a battery-powered chain saw.

I don't know about this. Everybody's so hung up on convenience.
I like the ritual of the 5am stuffing of the bird. I pour myself a glass of Frangelico and get to work. Nobody else is up at that time. I toss on some Christmas music. I make the stuffing. I cook up the giblets for the dog. Then I dress up the bird, stuff it, and slather it in herbs and olive oil. Then I let it sit in the oven at 325 degrees for about 7 or 8 hours, basting every 40 minutes or so.
The turkey is my only real job on Thanksgiving. My wife does most of the rest. But that turkey comes out perfect every time. And if it cooked faster, my wife would find other things for me to do. So let the turkey cook all day so I can spend the rest of the time sipping wine and watching football "keeping an eye" on the roasting turkey.
The day after (Friday), I'm home alone hanging Christmas lights while the wife and rest of the family are out shopping in that Black Friday madness. That's my favorite part of Thanksgiving. Having the house to myself and hanging Christmas lights the day after. While wolfing down leftover turkey and pies and such.
If it got cooked sooner,

If you cook it in a roaster with a lid it cooks faster and comes out very tender and juicy. A 51/2 hour turkey cooks in about 3 hours that way.
