I'm not sure whether spatchcocking a turkey before frying would make any difference. Spatchcocking is just taking out the turkey's backbone and flattening the bird before cooking. It cuts the cooking time by about 2/3 for roasting or BBQing. We tried it for the first time last Christmas and were amazed at how quickly the bird cooked. My wife roasts the bigger ones (over 20 lbs.) in the oven and I like to BBQ smaller turkeys every now and then. Never really tried to fry one but I can't see how spatchcocking would help in that case. Do you use a turkey fryer or just a large stock pot?
