    Don’t overcook it. A lower internal temp is still safe if held for a period of time, e.g. 145 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

      You get what you get and you either like it or you shut up and pretend that you do, because that’s your mum and she’s tired and hasn’t seen you in weeks and turkey is always a little dry, trust me I know, I’ve been doing this since before you were born, eat it with some cranberry sauce, have you seen your cous…

        My mother always roasted all the moisture out of a bird every year. I convinced her to get a second, smaller turkey so that I could fry it. Now I’m in charge of turkey every year cause everyone agreed it was better than hers.
