Spatchcocked my first turkey yesterday, which I cooked in a pellet grill; came out great. I usually do that with my chicken, which also comes out nicely, so I guess I was pretty used to it. But it's honestly pretty easy, and I agree, much faster to cook well. My other real tip is to just spatchcock and season the skin night before and let the skin dry out in the fridge. Makes for nice, crispy skin. I drizzled butter over the skin twice during the cook, and the color came out beautifully I also used an injection for the first time instead of brining, which was easy. I suspect I could have cranked up the heat and got this 14 1/2 lb bird cooked in 3 1/2 hours, no problem. It actually feels quite forgiving.
