Ingredients:
* 1 (12-14 pound) turkey, thawed
* Olive oil
* 2 tbls Medium Jerk Marinade
* 3-4 tbls Kosher Salt
* 1 tbls Ground Pepper
* Your favorite 80|20 Rub Me Down seasoning
* 2 sticks salted butter softened

Instructions:
Spatchcock the Turkey:
* Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity.
* Place the turkey breast-side down on a cutting board.
* Using kitchen shears or a knife, carefully cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it.
* Flip the turkey over and press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten it.
* Taking your hand place between the skin and breast meat lightly separating the two
* Combine both butters and fold the Jerk Marinade in
* Now using your hand or a spoon add half the mixture in between the skin and meat where we lightly separated
* Save the rest of the butter mixture for cooking
* Now sprinkle the entire turkey with the Kosher Salt and pepper for a salt Brine
* Let sit in the fridge uncovered for minimum 3 hours, but for next results over night(this will create the crispiest skin)
Season the Turkey:
* Drizzle the turkey with olive oil and season generously with 80|20 Rub Me Down seasoning
* Rub the seasonings into the skin and meat.
Roast the Turkey:
* Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
* Place the turkey, breast-side up, on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan.
* Roast the turkey for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
* Baste the turkey with the rest of the butter mixture melted completely every 30 minutes for extra flavor and crispy skin.
* You can even inject some of that butter mixture into the meat. (It's your world. Do what you feel)
Rest and Carve:
* Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
* Carve the turkey and serve immediately.
Tips:
* Herb Butter: Spread a mixture of softened butter, herbs, and spices under the skin of the turkey for extra flavor.
* Roasting Vegetables: Add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions to the roasting pan for a one-pan meal.
* Gravy: Use the pan drippings to make a delicious gravy to accompany your turkey.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked, juicy spatchcock turkey!
