Adam Ragusea: STOP TRYING TO MAKE TURKEY TASTE GOOD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rb2iQALiXU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rb2iQALiXU tl;dw - dry turkey is to be expected and it doesn't need to be fixed, that's why you have gravy et al.

Turkey doesn't have to be dry, but the mass-produced modern Turkey (stuff like Butterball) is guaranteed to to be dry.

  I disagree. They tend to be fairly bland, but when cooked properly, they're not dry. That's mainly because people overcook the breast.

    Yeah I think the key is "when cooked properly", which is emphatically _not_ according to the directions given with the bird.

Turkey does taste good, though. And it absolutely doesn't have to be dry.

  I agree. Properly brined turkey cooked to an appropriate temperature (based on the part of the bird, not the CDC) has an excellent flavor. Turkey breast, in particular, is much much more flavorful than chicken breast.
