Everything I have to say about cooking turkey has already been said by Alton Brown. His recipe for roast turkey involves soaking it overnight in a lightly flavored brine, adding some aromatics, and throwing it in the oven and forgetting about it.
No basting, no fooling about, and no foolhardy attempts to turn a 16lb, 350-degree bird? Perfect. Not only is it easy, it makes the moistest turkey you’ll ever have.
