Good poultry shears are essential, but yeah that’s the tough part. I usually try to trim everything else in that area so I’ve got a little room to look for a weak spot, but usually I just wind up powering through it.
Folks who have spatchcocked a turkey before -- it seems like when you remove the spine you basically have to cut straight through the thigh bone?I feel like it's much harder to cut through than videos make it look

Poultry shears felt more difficult for this to me than just regular kitchen shears. I ended up using an electric carving knife which eventually got through it. Good to know I wasn't cutting the wrong place at least.

As someone whose first language is not English I’m afraid to google what the word spatchcocked means

Butterflying is the other term. You remove the spine and flatten the turkey. It makes it cook faster and more evenly

I always find I’m too far from the spine on the first attempt, it’s narrower than I think. That and good poultry shears that can grab the bone:pic.twitter.com/tfev66YUvE
