Get ready for a Thanksgiving game changer. Spatchcocking, or removing the backbone, is the secret to making the best turkey you've ever had–in half the time. Most butchers will do this for you.

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.

Serving up a beautiful platter of golden brown turkey carvings is every meat-eating host's Thanksgiving dream. But if we're being honest, the process of getting there isn't very pretty.

And remember, keep that carving in the kitchen.

Thanksgiving is the perfect excuse to make this delicious carb-on-carb answer to Turkey Day leftovers: stuffing fried rice. Make sure to add in some delicious mushrooms and greens. Pro-tip: You can use anything but boxed stuffing (the texture is too fine and will turn to mush). We chose a cornbread and chorizo stuffing, which can handle being cooked again and tossed in the stir-fry.
