Citrus Dry Brined Spatchcock Turkey with Herb Butter

A reader who's been cooking turkeys for over 50 years made my recipe and said it was the best turkey she's ever cooked or eaten. It's my go-to every Thanksgiving, and I'll show you how to spatchcock it and why the citrus dry brine is the whole reason it's so juicy.

"LOVED IT! I used a ribeye since that's what I had on hand. My only regret with this recipe was not doubling up on the bourbon sauce, because it was THAT good!"
