If you're going to oven roast your turkey, BRINE IT FIRST.
The single best turkey i've ever had came out of a Big Green Egg hybrid smoker thing, which is kind of ungodly expensive so I don't own one, but does an excellent job at cooking thick cuts and whole birds and the like.
- konfusinomicon 5y agolook on Craigslist. I got a used one for basically half price and it was the best $600 I ever spent. they last forever so used is still as good as new. once you figure it out, everything that comes out of it will be the best youve ever had. for the turkey i did a dry brine with Tony cachere creole seasoning, injected with creole butter and basted with maple syrup.. also spatchcoked it, which isn't the most pleasant thing to experience but I won't ever keep a turkey whole again, cooked much quicker and more evenly
