Turkey Tips

This year for Thanksgiving we tired something new with the turkey. I had been watching a bunch of FoodNetWork and learned how much I was doing wrong. Instead of stuffing the turkey with stuffing, which we normally do, we filled the turkey with apples, oranges, and a few lemons. 
I learned that this is suppose to help keep the turkey really moist and that the stuffing can really dry out the turkey. 
What also really helped my turkey turn out perfect this year was basting the inside just as well as the out, now you only get one shot at basting the inside of your turkey and that's before it starts cooking so don't try to when it hot. 
While your turkey is cooking cover the main section with foil this will keep that part from getting too done too fast.
