Thank you! Of all the channels I watched for trying to make gravy and a spatchcock turkey, you're the only one that put measurements in the description and made it one video, everyone else did like 3 videos and it was frustrating. You rock!
I made my turkey like this last year for the first time dry brine and spatchcocked. I’m doing it again this year! It was soooooo good. I made the gravy too! Yummy! Thank you and happy TG!
I made this yesterday and it was a hit! Everything turned out okay including the gravy. This was my first time to do a turkey. This recipe taste great and very easy to follow for a beginner like me. All my guests commented that it was the best turkey they ever had! Good job you guys and thank you for this recipe!! (And I did not use vermouth cos I don't have it and it says optional, instead I used white wine).
Just made this for a Friendsgiving. Turned out amazing and was fast. Will be forever doing this recipe. For first time doing a Turkey had everyone impressed including myself. Great video thanks

Thank you so much for this. I normally cook a Gordon Ramsay turkey, but just learned about the spatchcock method last night. I really wanted to try it out, but wasn't sure how to adapt the Gordon Ramsay recipe to the spatchcock method. This video is the perfect blend of what I had been doing and what I wanted to do, it's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for your comment! We just wanted to clarify whether you're referring to the ingredients, instructions, or both. Thanks, again! Here is the recipe link for your reference: bit.ly/2HdrnpV
Need to explain more, if I am doing a 20 lb. Turkey using a thermometer to determine when it is done, what temp would it have to reach to be considered done
I bought heavy duty shears from Lowes. they helped a lot. But I could not for the life of me cut through the bone connecting the leg to the spine! I finally got one side cut, and just left the other side of the spine on! I am pretty sure I did not crack the other side either. Just not strong enough! But oh well, we'll see what happens.
Great vid, but… what did you do with the turkey neck and giblets? I use those in the stock too. And please, PLEASE, get a wood cutting board. Your knives will thank you!
It cooks the bird faster and more evenly since most of the meat is laying flat. Plus, more of the skin is exposed to direct heat which means more crispy skin 🤤
loved the whole presentation............ but I didn't understand the 'cook for a few or 5 minutes to reduce graininess of wheat flour'. I always made sure that additions of wheat flour or cornflour were well cooked so that the raw flour taste would leave. The raw flour taste is a real thing, and can ruin a dish, if one is inexperienced. Apart from that, I loved the recipe and method and your commentary explaining what and why you were doing things.
There’s no need! It doesn’t get too salty since a lot of the salt disperses into the meat. Rinsing will actually undo all of the work the salt has done to dry out the surface, and won’t give you that nice even browning or crispy skin.
While it is definitely possible, it hasn’t been tested with this particular recipe. If you want to try, a convection oven is your best best as it will allow the heat to circulate more evenly, and the roasting trays should be switched and rotated at least twice during cooking to ensure evenly cooked meat. Good luck!
Do not rinse the salt off you’ll wash the flavor away, it won’t be too salty because it soaks into the meat, another comment said the skin won’t get crispy if you do.
It needs black pepper,and it also needs to be cleaned before you got started (is it an American tradition to not clean your meats before cooking)and please enough of the bacteria talk😱🙄😳
Answering your question; most chefs suggest 450°F until the breast comes to an internal temperature of 150°F. If you haven’t started prepping yet, Ben Starr has an EXCELLENT two-part YT series on spatchcocking, dry brining, poultry safety, and carving. I’ve been using his method for a few years and have recommended it to friends. If this is your first time spatchcocking, trust me, you’ll never go back. But you won’t get many pan juices, so plan on make-ahead gravy. The Sauce and Gravy channel, and Chef John are good resources for doing that.

Thanks Christopher we appreciate your comment a lot! 👍🏽 Did you try the recipe? How was it? Have a great New Year! - Diego
JUST USED THIS METHOD THIS YEAR!!!! I will NEVER stuff a turkey ever again! Spatchcock for life!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Nice presentation. Turkey looks fabulous!
Glad you liked it!
Did she say at what temperature the oven should be at?
450F or 220C
450 until internal temp is 150, take it out and let it carry over cook/rest for 40 minutes before cutting
Preheat oven 450 degrees F.
At what temp for oven?? You forgot to mention that
Thank you

Hi, did this last year and doing it again this year!
Glad to hear!! It's a keeper!
@@SideChefChannel Sure is, again this year was excellent!

Thank you so much 😃, we will keep the videos coming!
Goated Turkey Video
Nice
I bought heavy duty shears from Lowes. they helped a lot. But I could not for the life of me cut through the bone connecting the leg to the spine! I finally got one side cut, and just left the other side of the spine on! I am pretty sure I did not crack the other side either. Just not strong enough! But oh well, we'll see what happens.
Salted or unsalted butter?
Your herbs how much of each do you use to put in your compound butter. And how much butter did you use
Great vid, but… what did you do with the turkey neck and giblets? I use those in the stock too.
And please, PLEASE, get a wood cutting board. Your knives will thank you!
Where did you get your roasting pan and what size is it
What’s the pros and cons of doing a turkey this way does it cook any better
It cooks the bird faster and more evenly since most of the meat is laying flat. Plus, more of the skin is exposed to direct heat which means more crispy skin 🤤
YUMMM!!!
So good!
How long to do a twenty lb. Turkey
You had me at butter.
Everything is better with butter 🥰🧈- Diego
loved the whole presentation............ but I didn't understand the 'cook for a few or 5 minutes to reduce graininess of wheat flour'. I always made sure that additions of wheat flour or cornflour were well cooked so that the raw flour taste would leave. The raw flour taste is a real thing, and can ruin a dish, if one is inexperienced. Apart from that, I loved the recipe and method and your

For presentation turn the turkey legs in before cooking other than that it looks wonderful.
You should Spatchcock First, then Dry Brine.
I’ve been doing this the past two years and you are correct
Cut6ting through the back ribs is hard af, I ended up using wire cutters and then aircraft snips
Where did you get the rack and roast pan?
I picked up a Rachel Ray roast pan and rack @ Target for about $30.
Do you rinse the salt brine off ??
There’s no need! It doesn’t get too salty since a lot of the salt disperses into the meat. Rinsing will actually undo all of the work the salt has done to dry out the surface, and won’t give you that nice even browning or crispy skin.
No, you don't. I made this today and it was perfectly seasoned.
Thanks for the great recipe. You get waaaay to much pleasure from the butter. LOL. Hilarious. No such thing as too much butter or bacon🙂
Other than a rack what other way I can cook it in the oven?
Please help
any oven-safe tools that you can use to lift up the turkey on a baking sheet should also work.
What temperature did you cook the turkey in?
Thank you for the question! Here is the link for the recipe, step 3 provides the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius bit.ly/2HdrnpV
450F 220C
At what temp did you set the oven to cook this turkey
Check the link in the description to get the full recipe ;)
Plastic wrap in the fridge. Will not alow the skin to dry properly
This one speaks from experience!
Score yourself ten bonus points! Do not pass GO! Do not collect $200.
Could I do two Spatchcock turkeys In the oven or would that not cook through
While it is definitely possible, it hasn’t been tested with this particular recipe. If you want to try, a convection oven is your best best as it will allow the heat to circulate more evenly, and the roasting trays should be switched and rotated at least twice during cooking to ensure evenly cooked meat. Good luck!
How much butter and how much flower?
You can also check the full recipe here: bit.ly/2HdrnpV
Bake at what temperature?
Hey Mike! For full recipe instructions, check it out here bit.ly/2HdrnpV
is it just me or did she never say what temperature to set the oven?
Full recipe in the description. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out! 😄
What about removing the salt
Do not rinse the salt off you’ll wash the flavor away, it won’t be too salty because it soaks into the meat, another comment said the skin won’t get crispy if you do.
😍
There’s no mention of temperature….
Full recipe in the description box
She's so pretty
We think so too!
Oh my! You lost me at marble cutting board! Your knife will forgive you… after sharpening!
It needs black pepper,and it also needs to be cleaned before you got started (is it an American tradition to not clean your meats before cooking)and please enough of the bacteria talk😱🙄😳
Joy, has “never made turkey before”. LOL The only thing that’s ever made turkey is another turkey. HaHa you don’t make turkey you only cook it.
Haha you have a point!
What temperature did you roast your turkey on .
Answering your question; most chefs suggest 450°F until the breast comes to an internal temperature of 150°F.
If you haven’t started prepping yet, Ben Starr has an EXCELLENT two-part YT series on spatchcocking, dry brining, poultry safety, and carving. I’ve been using his method for a few years and have recommended it to friends.
If this is your first time spatchcocking, trust me, you’ll never go back. But you won’t get many pan juices, so plan on make-ahead gravy. The Sauce and Gravy channel, and Chef John are good resources for doing that.
