We chose a cornbread and chorizo stuffing, which can handle being cooked again and tossed in the stir-fry.

If you’re looking for reasons to spatchcock a turkey this Thanksgiving, ask yourself these simple questions: Do you want the bird to actually taste good? And be juicy? With perfectly browned skin? Of course you do. This method, which disposes of the backbone so the bird can be flattened and cooked skin side up, is a game changer.
