Not Just a Fun Word to Say . . .

Where did the term spatchcock come from? Though up for debate, one theory from the folks at Oxford English Dictionary is the word has Irish origins, and is an abbreviation of “dispatch cock,” a phrase referring to fowl “split open and grilled after being killed, plucked, and dressed in a summary fashion.”

HOT TIP

Want the fastest and easiest way to cook a Thanksgiving turkey? Spatchcock it! The same principle of evenly cooked, juicy meat and browned, crispy skin when the bird is splayed on the grill applies to turkeys as well. While you won’t get the traditional presentation of a whole turkey on the table, you’ll free up your oven and have the turkey grilled, rested, and carved in only 2 hours—a fair trade, in my opinion!

In general, a 22-inch (55 cm) kettle grill can accommodate a 10- to 12-pound (4.5 to 5.4 kg) spatchcocked turkey. Grill it over indirect medium-high heat for about 1½ hours, until the breast registers 150°F (66°C) and the thigh registers 170°F (77°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Bonus: the removed turkey backbone makes excellent gravy!
