Spatchcock Turkey Brining.

Should I spatchcock my turkey before brining or after?

Depends what kinda room you have I guess. I would go with a whatever is easier for you answer

I agree. As for the turkey itself, it makes no difference in the end result...

From my limited experience, it's easier to maneuver the bird as "whole" rather than cut. Spatchcocked, it's like trying to get a toddler into a car seat... but that's one man's opinion (arms and legs in all directions at once!).

Brine first, then spatchcock. Especially if you're planning to brine in a ziplock bag.

Thanks everyone. I have 2 brining containers and have 4 turkeys. I read to spatchcock after brining, but didn't know a reason why other than ease of handling. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving
