> So by butterfly it do you mean lay it down breast side up Actualy, to butterfly, lay the turkey breast-side down and cut out the backbone.
Then, flip the turkey over and crack the breastbone with a rolling pin and flatten. Tie the legs together with cooking twine, spread on some melted butter and bake. from an earlier thread: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/messages.cfm/threadid:14751/forumid:5#134517 1. Holding turkey upright with the backbone facing front, use a hacking motion to cut directly to the left of the backbone with a chef's knife. Continue cutting to the neck of the turkey. 2. holding the backbone in one hand, hack directly to the right of the backbone until the backbone is cut free. 3. (optional) Using a scissors, cut between the rib and skin, then cut out the rib plates. 4. Flip turkey over so it is breast side up and place on a large cutting board (or the counter). Cover with plastic and use a rolling pin to whack the breast bone until it cracks and the turkey flattens. -- -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137299 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
