Absolutely! Spatchcocking a turkey the night before is a great time-saving strategy for Thanksgiving. Make sure to use sharp kitchen shears to remove the backbone, then flatten the bird by pressing down firmly. Season it generously and store it in the fridge, uncovered, on a baking sheet. This helps the skin dry out for crispiness. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before roasting. Happy cooking!

I’ve found it’s best to season the turkey after spatchcocking so it can absorb flavors overnight. Just a tip!

Spatchcock that turkey the night before! Saves time on cooking day. Just be sure to pat it dry with paper towels and let it sit uncovered in the fridge overnight. This lets the skin get nice and crispy!
