Here's a great tip for cooking that Thanksgiving or X-Mas turkey....
Do what ever seasonings you like..
Put into your roaster BREAST SIDE DOWN...Cook for HALF the cooking time that way...Take out and turn over and finish cooking...
I guarantee you will have a super moist gobler..Baste if you wish..
I have done this with a turkey anywhere from 12 to 15 lbs... The bigger the harder it is to turn, so don't be bashful to ask for help..If you are using a roasting rack (V Shape), then a second one is an easy way to tackle the job...Just put it over the back of the turkey and flip....
ENJOY

Also, don't be anxious to cut up that bird. Let it rest 20-40 minuites after removing it from the oven. This will allow the jucies to "Set" and not run out durring the carving.
