Yes, I have done that, but that takes longer.

Two ways I have tried:
a. A heated thermal gel packs inside a food safe SV bag.
b. Electric 50 watt heater with PID control inside a SV bag.

The bird was whole, not trussed. Because I don't like soggy skin which you will get if trussed.

Aren't we trying to reinvent the wheel here?
I can't think of another way to have the chicken (turkey) cooked uniformly to about 140F - 145F very quickly and at the end with very crispy skin. If the bird is cooked, say in an 375F oven, there is no way that part of the meat will not be cooked at 212F. There is a big difference in juiciness between meat cooked at 212F and 140F.
Why is placing a heater inside the cavity takes a lot of work? Seems less work than deboning, spachcocking, trussing ----.
