Per pounds smoke time is a guide line only.
Keep an eye on it and pull it when it's done.

In my experience, Chicken reaches temp. and is done quicker when it's
Butterflied (Spatchocked).
 
In my experience its the same for turkeys. If their spatchcocked they cook a little quicker. Just pay attention to it.
 
Rule of thumb:

- Whole Turkey: 25 to 30 minutes per pound
- Spatchcocked: 12 to 15 minutes per pound

Watch it closely. It cooks faster than you think. I gave myself an extra 30 minute buffer and was done 20 minutes early.
 
Much faster cook time and both the white and dark meat seem to reach the target temp at the same time. It make a huge difference for the better.
