My turkey was moist and flavorful!
(It all depends on how the turkey is prepared and cooked. Don't do something silly like cook it quickly at 500 degrees. My dad's aunt used to do that and the turkey was very dry as a result.)
To make a moist turkey, buy a brined or kosher turkey at the grocery store. (The turkey is shipped in salt water.) 2-3 days before you cook it, rub it with salt and spices and let it sit in the refrigerator. Before you cook it, rub it with butter and spices. Stuff with onions and oranges. If you use an oven, cover the roasting pan to hold in the moisture. Cook it at 325 for a few hours.
I've also made a small turkey in a croc pot. It was extremely moist and didn't need gravy at all.
The recipe that I followed this year was: https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Dry-Brined-Roast-Turkey-with-Garlic-Sage-Butter-9088910 https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Dry-Brined-Roast-Turkey-with-G.... In addition to that: I bought a brined turkey, I stuffed with 2 chopped onions and 3 clementines, and I tightly covered the roasting pan with foil.
