Why Frog a turkey?

Frogging a turkey is a new and innovative method that offers several advantages. It retains the backbone, laying the turkey flat similar to spatchcocking. This approach not only ensures an incredibly moist and tender bite but also presents a visually appealing and unique presentation—the perfect combination of practicality and aesthetics in cooking a turkey. Overall, this technique not only streamlines the cooking process but also enhances the overall taste and texture of the turkey, making it a valuable approach for those seeking a delicious and efficiently prepared centerpiece for their meals.

How to "Frog" a turkey

PART ONE: Begin by making precise cuts on both sides of the turkey, separating the breast area from the legs.

PART TWO: Once you've successfully extended and flattened the breast area, delicately remove the wing tips.

PART THREE: Congratulations, you've now completed the Frog Turkey preparation! The beauty of this method is that it doesn't require cutting through any bones, unlike Spatchcocking.
