Spatchcock Turkey and Gravy
Doing my part for Christmas dinner tonight.
I'm prepping a spatchcock turkey on a bed of aromatic vegetables & herbs, with a awesome gravy.
Spatchcock is cutting the backbone out and flattening the bird for quicker and more even cooking.
Bird is prepped, pics to come before it goes in the oven.

Bed is made for the bird.
Fresh thyme, Fresh rosemary, bay leaves, onion, carrots, celery and olive oil.
Cook at 375-450', the more heat the faster it cooks and it'll still cook evenly.
Cooking time is 1.5-2hrs.
