Juicy and turkey breast don’t usually go hand in hand. I’ve heard brining it can help.

Catering is the way to go cuz. All you have to do is pick it up.

Although if you're really wanting to prepare it yourself I highly recommend ChatGPT/AI. It's given me incredible cooking instruction.

Don't know if you guys know what kalua pig is, but someone made kalua turkey and it was good. Not dry.

Nothing to do with the actual cooking but do make sure you leave plenty of time for it to defrost if you colonials use frozen birds .

Always found the defrost instructions are crap.

Do you have a smoker? I brine for at least 24 hours, adding a cup of bourbon to the mix. Then spatchcock, dust with Matt Pittman's Texas Sugar and smoke over hickory. Choose your favorite seasonings if you want it spicier than Texas sugar, but the brine and spatchcock are the difference makers.

Have you thought about making a steak and posting some photos on here? I would very much like to see what you come up with.

Cooking juicy roast turkey is actually quite easy.
1. Brine
2. Spatchcock (split open and lay flat)
3. Keep a digital thermometer in thigh near bone and PULL AS SOON AS IT GETS TO 165.
4. Let rest for an hour

The highlighted/underlined part can not be overstated. Failure to do this is why most turkey is dry.

Brining for 24 hours, patting it completely dry, and then giving it a good dry rub of your preferred seasonings is all you really have to do. Cooking a moist turkey is really that simple. You can use an injector and a salt solution to inject in places helps too, but it isn't totally necessary.

Last decade has been nothing but net for me and turkeys.

Roasting a turkey is simple, even for people who can’t cook.

Assuming that you’re starting from frozen be sure to stick your hand in the neck hole and check to see if there’s a bag of giblets (liver, heart etc). Pull that out and toss it out (or cook it in the turkey pan and feed it to your dog).

Making your own stuffing is simple. Buy some cheap whole wheat bread and pull it apart with your hands. And some diced onion and celery, salt and pepper. If you want to elevate the flavour you can add a box of Stove Top stuffing to yours. Cram the stuffing in the turkey.

Place some celery, onion (or both) in the bottom of your roasting pan and set the turkey on top. Coat the turkey with butter or olive oil, salt and pepper.

Cover the pan and roast at 350. Usually takes about 2.5-3 hours for a medium sized turkey. Remove the cover to brown the skin at the end.

Tell someone else to make the sides. You’ll have plenty of time to watch football and drink while they’re doing the real work.
