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

How close were you to the spine? I try to cut *just* next to the spine, and haven't really had issues. Maybe you were a bit further out and the bone was thicker there? Realizing this is one of those things where everyone seems to gloss over those kinds of details...
I think I was pretty close, but tbh I'm not sure this was my first time doing it. On one side I could clearly see the (leg?) bone cut at exactly the joint, with cut through the solid shell of thigh bone around it. On the other side I can't see the joint so maybe I was closer

It's in the fridge brining right now, I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow when I move it to the oven (I didn't have to cook yesterday so I'm doing secret practice thanksgiving trying all the stuff I've been meaning to but never risked w/ family coming)

I was going to fry it but apparently an outdoor propane burner is not as easy to find in town as I expected

Another option would be to start near the neck, cut down, then try to use a knife on ligaments to separate the hip joint. Maybe pictures will help more. Hope it goes well!

Yeah, I got it off before tweeting. It was just way harder than any demo video made it look so I wasn't sure I was cutting in the right place
