When it comes to cooking a whole turkey quickly and evenly, spatchcocking--removing the entire backbone from the bird and splaying it open--is a great technique. This skin on this spatchcocked turkey gets crispy and browned because nearly all of the skin is exposed. This recipe uses a simple blend of oil, fresh herbs and spices for classic roasted turkey flavor. Look for a small turkey, about 12 pounds, as it fits better in most roasting pans.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 12-pound turkey, giblets removed
2 lemons, sliced
