Recipe:
1. Brine the Turkey - Add 1/4 cup of salt (not kosher) per quart of water to make the brine solution. You can add other spices as well for additional flavor. I added bay leaves, garlic, toasted coriander seed, rosemary, thyme, and cracked pepper
2. Let the turkey brine for 2 - 2.5 hours per pound.
3. After it brines, pat dry and remove the spine with kitchen shears or a cleaver. Press the chest bone down to flatten it as well (spatchcocking)
4. Apply a thin layer of oil and a dry rub on the skin. As for the dry rub I used the following:

2T kosher salt
2T Brown Sugar
1T Smoked Paprika
2tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
2tsp dried thyme
1tsp coriander powder
1T baking powder

5. Once the dry rub has been applied, let it rest in the refrigerator uncovered overnight
6. Smoke the turkey at 225f (107c) with your favorite wood (I used apple and oak) till the internal temp reached 150f (65.5c). Let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Slice and enjoy
