    How to Make Spatchcocked Roast Turkey with Garlic and Herbs

    1. Prepare the Turkey

    Lay the turkey breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it. Flip the turkey over and press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten it.

    2. Season the Turkey

    Place the flattened turkey in a roasting pan. Tuck garlic cloves and fresh herbs under the skin and around the bird. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.

    3. Roast the Turkey

    Roast the turkey in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Baste the turkey with pan juices, then lower the oven temperature to continue roasting until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

    4. Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, allow the turkey to rest before carving. Serve the turkey garnished with roasted garlic cloves and drizzled with pan juices.
