<human>: Hey guys, my girlfriend and I are having some friends over this Saturday for a Christmas dinner. We have an 19 pound turkey, and I've been looking forward to spending the day just cooking and stuff. On Thanksgiving, I tried the Alton Brown turkey recipe (brined, roasted without stuffing) and it was great. With all the hubub from American Thanksgiving about spatchcocking a turkey, I thought that'd be great to try out! I'm confident in my ability to cut out the backbone and roast it, but I had mentioned to my buddy how good it was to lay some bacon over the breasts while the last one roasted and he bought 3 pounds for this dinner. So in a really rambling way, I guess I'm asking if covering the spatchcocked turkey in bacon will defeat the point of using that method to get crispy skin? Would I be better to add bacon to mashed sweet potatoes, or to brussels sprouts?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I have 3 pounds of bacon my friend bought for Christmas dinner with the intent of replacing foil to cover the turkey during roasting. Can I still do this if I spatchcock the turkey, or does covering it defeat the point?
