Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey with Seasoned Butter

There’s nothing more traditional than a big turkey as the centerpiece of the wintery holiday meals. This smoked turkey takes everything you love about your usual holiday bird and packs in extra flavor by putting on the smoker. Spatchcocking helps this big bird cook more evenly, which means more flavor—and more moist slices, no matter which part of the turkey you serve from—for you.
