Description
When you bring this browned bird to the table, your guests might be tempted to pull out their phones and take photos, but the turkey's beauty is not just skin-deep. A butterflied bird cooks more quickly and evenly than a conventional one, and most people feel it's easier to carve. You'll need sturdy kitchen scissors or poultry shears to cut out the backbone before roasting so you can flatten the turkey. Some butchers will also do this step for you. The recipe is a Yummly original created by David Bonom.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
- Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Turn turkey over so the backbone is facing up. Using poultry shears or sturdy kitchen shears, cut along one side of the backbone through the rib bones. Repeat on other side of backbone. Discard backbone or save for stock.

This was PHENOMENAL! it was a quick cook and the butterflying made it juicy and perfectly evenly cooked throughout. I had legless, young turkey, only 8 lb. i followed instructions exactly. the hardest part was cutting the backbone and cracking it. the rub made the skin crispy and gave a smoky flavor. I will never make turkey any other way again! Easy and stress free!

The hardest part of this was cutting out the backbone; however, it was worth it! I let mine rest for about 30 minutes while I was finishing up the rest of the meal and it was perfectly moist and tender. Even my dad who doesn't like turkey enjoyed it!
