I have been thinking about "Spatchcocking" a turkey. Opinion check... Will this cooking method produce a drier meat than leaving the bird intact?

Welcome to SMF!

No, it won't be dry as long as you practice good technique, in fact, the bird is usually done in about half the time it takes to cook a whole intact bird, which, in itself, means less drying.

Thanks. Have you or anyone you know tried it?

I cook 90% of my chickens and turkeys either spatchcocked or split, and have for years.
