yo danny boy....shenadra's right...cover it with foil set oven to
350...bake for the alloted time ...1/2 hour before pulling it out of the
oven, take the foil off so you can brown the outside of it.

thank you she and lady, you rescued my bird!!!!
lol... At least I am not as bad as whipser though :wink: iw as
thinking 375


and if interested Lady, all you have to do to keep the turkey fro
mdrying out is cover it up, either with a roaster lid if using a
traditional roaster, or if using an aluminum throwaway roaster, use
aluminum foil. do not add water to it in the beginning. As the water
evaporates fro the body of th, e turkey, it will hit the lid and
condensation begins, thus causing it to self baste. You might want to
maually baste with itsw own juices abot halfway to three quarters of the
way through.
And for a crispier skin, remove the lid for the last half hour.

hey lady? I use thyme, oregano and sage on the turkey itself, along
with its own juices.

for the stuffing I usefinely chopped parts (kidney, kneck, heart and
liver) along with the broth rom boiling the parts with white bread, sage
and thyme.

OK since I just cooked one yesterday I'll give you a few nints about
what not to do.
First, don't make little slices in the skin and pour barbecue sauce in.
I think the slices make it dry out too much. My last turkey was not so
dry.
Next, if you're covering it with barbecue sauce, baste it pretty often
to keep fresh sauce all over it, maybe every half hour or so after the
first hour.
Temp should be about 325 to 350.
Don't cook it too long, that dries it out too. If you have one of those
little temp sensor things keep an eye on it when you baste.
