My Thanksgiving turkey cooking tips:
Hotels, Restaurants and Big resorts plan and cook ahead of time for success.
When I was a kid, my mom would start the turkey at 2am, on 250 degrees on Thanksgiving morning.Check the turkey upon waking, flip breast side up around 10am , foil off, watch so breast doesn’t dry.
This all but insures a juicy, non dried out turkey if you will monitor and baste it. Slow cooking equals amazing taste, texture and juiciness.
Turn off 2 hours before dinner, allow to sit for an hour, slice and place on serving platters, back in warm oven til ready to serve.
Feeling Really bold? Cook the turkey Wednesday all day on low, cool, carve, fridge, process drippings and leftover, carcass for soup. Much easier to work with!
