While you can have the perfect brine and seasoning, everything can be lost if the turkey is baked for too long, or at too high of a temperature. The shape of a turkey isn’t conducive to being baked, with the breasts on top which tend to dry out first, and the legs on the bottom, which need to be cooked for longer, the traditional way of cooking a turkey makes it hard to get every piece of meat cooked to be juicy and flavorful. One way to combat this design flaw, is to spatchcock your turkey.
