Do you portion it raw or cook first?

I haven't tried to butcher a raw turkey before, but the idea is tempting.

Give it to us raw, and wriggling!

As a young boy and teenager, I grew up hunting Canada geese with my family a lot growing up. We're Indigenous and it was common every spring to butcher about 100-120 geese every spring. We were able to kill much more but dad limited us to this amount because beyond that, it was just too hard and difficult to butcher this many animals and store them properly. We used the entire animal - meat for eating, bones for tools/crafts, feathers for stuffing blankets and pillows and wing feathers for crafts. The heads were eaten too and every bit of meat, sinew, brain, edible part eaten. Feet boiled into stew. Gizzard, heart, lungs roasted for quick eating while butchering everything else. Intestines were consumed only if people were starving which we never were so they were just thrown to our hunting dogs. And in terms of butchering, mom was a skilled with a knife and a bird, she knew the anatomy like the back of her hand and could separate the bones from the meat and leave a rack of whole attached bones with a whole single slab of meat and skin. Then continue slicing the meat slab until she turned it into a continuous single sheet of meat and skin about four or five feet long, then that was draped over a smoking fire for a day or two and we got smoked goose that could be stored for several months. The deboned carcass was smoked alongside and once that was smoked, everyone took their time and picked away all the meat from the bone. She taught me how to butcher in the same way but I was never as skilled as her and my sisters at it.

My point is .... once you do it two or three times, butchering a bird is not that hard once you figure out the anatomy, use a good sharp knife and how to do it. Most importantly, use a very sharp knife because contrary to popular belief, you are more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife because you'll struggle more to make your cuts and thus hurt yourself.

I do it raw

Each breast in its own ziplock, drumsticks in a ziplock, 2 wings in a ziplock, dark meat cube/peices for stir-fry in a ziplock. All organs in their own ziplock.

Doing turkey is really no different then whole chicken for portioning, just bigger. Technically it can be done in about 8-10 cuts.

Watch some chicken portioning videos, same method applies they are just longer cuts.

Dunno who this guy is but it's this method https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NVIdnpPqv8g

Edit: even the turkey breast can be butterflied in half for 2 'breasts' per bag giving 4 portions of breast per bird. Depends on the meal I'm having really but I leave them whole until I go to cook.
