Two tricks:
Use a cooking bag.
Layer strips of raw bacon on the breast and legs.
The bacon bastes the turkey as it cooks, and along with the cooking bag, you'll never have a more moist turkey! I've NEVER had this method fail, and I've cooked a lot of turkeys in my day!
Enjoy!

After you remove the innards from the bird, stuff it with a sliced apple, a sliced onion, a carrot, and a stalk of celery. The flavors from the veggies cook into the turkey, and keep it moist. Don't salt the turkey while it's cooking. That will dry it out. Let the turkey sit for a while after it's cooked before you carve it, or you will lose the juices.

the main extreme component you're able to do to maintain your turkey moist is to evade overcooking it. There could be instructions on the equipment to enable you to already know methods long to prepare dinner your turkey consistent with pound, approximately 18 minutes consistent with pound. Get an on the spot study thermometer, and attempt the temperature in the breast and innermost area of thigh, heading off the bone. whilst the temp reaches a hundred sixty five ranges, the turkey is finished. enable it relax for 20 - half-hour in the previous carving. happy Thanksgiving!

Keep it wrapped loosely in foil for most of the cooking and baste it every once in a while, uncover it for the last 30 mins.

Easiest way I've found is Reynold's Oven Bags. Find them in the saran wrap, aluminum foil isle at grocery store. Easy!

Best way Ive found to date is to actually deepfry the whole thing! There are several manufacturer's that sell the set-ups to use at home. NOTE: make sure you do it outdoors!

before you cook it put 1-2 apples inside it sounds weird but I did this last year and it worked great..and you had to know the apple was in there or you wouldn't taste it..

I cook it breast side down and inject my favorite basting sauce into the meat with a needle and syringe. (you can get them from a vet supply.
