What is the best way to cook a turkey?
I have 25 people coming for the holidays and the last time I cooked a turkey it came out really dry--any good turkey recipes out there?

Maybe you over-cooked it. One thing I do that works... every 15 minutes I poor the gravy run-off back over the top. That keeps it from drying out and also gives the skin a better taste. (Although the skin is the worst part for your health, but I love it).

Check out my blog http://hubpages.com/hub/Making-the-Holiday-Meal. Recipe for homemade Roast Turkey and Turkey Stuffing is provided. Making turkey is really not hard, and when you do it yourself you are sure that it is clean and safely handled!

Brining is a good technique to end up with moist poultry after cooking. Another factor is that the breast of a bird and the dark meat get done at different temperatures, so by the time the leg and thighs get done, the breast is often dry.
Search on google for Alton Brown or Good Eats and turkey. He has done more than one show on this.

Timing, time the complete meal from Prep to table.
remember when you take the turkey out of the oven it needs to SIT for at least 10-15 minutes for the juices to remain in the turkey. keep the turkey covered for the sitting period and it will turn out to be moist and delicious
