Kenzi - Thank you SO much for bringing the spatchcock method to the table. (Pun intended!) I've been spatchcocking for a long time and it speeds things up and better yet I find that breast and thigh are both done perfectly AT THE SAME TIME! Last year I even combined the spatchcock method with smoking the turkey. Here's how I combine the spatchcock method with smoking the turkey. If you are interested here is the link to that video. http://www.marcs-culinary-compass.com/2010/08/episode-39.html

I wish I could take the credit, but this is a tip that's been long circulating Food52. It's quite magical though, I will say that.

I know but it still amazes me how scared people are, even foodies, are to try. When it shows up in a 'tips' post like yours it actually carries more weight and is strategically better because it is not a 'recipe' but a nudge to find a recipe. Far less threatening for folks. :)

Whatever happens, don't forget the most important ingredient: gratitude. And while I'm on the subject, thank you, Food52 community, for adding so much pleasure to my life. XO

Work up a great appetite before the meal by taking a good long, challenging hike, preferably up a mountain. Spectacular views at the top are optional. (Actually, they're a bonus in November, when you're likely to be looking down on fog and clouds.) Make sure to take a great, season-appropriate snack to enjoy at the top, e.g., pumpkin bread, apple hand-pies, etc. And being primarily, if not solely, responsible for serving the meal is no reason not to take a great hike on T-Day. It can be done. (I've done it for 20 years, including with babies and toddlers in backpacks.) ;o)

You put a toddler in a backpack? How do you get him to fit?!? ;) This Christmas, my husband and I plan on taking a nice, long bike ride through a Danish forest. I can't wait!
