Analyzing cooking steps...
Allowing the turkey to sit at room temperature for an hour before roasting promotes more even cooking.
The herb butter under the skin is the secret to keeping the breast meat moist and flavorful.
Basting is essential. Start after the initial 2 hours and continue every 30 minutes to ensure a juicy turkey with crisp skin.
Do not discard the vegetables and pan drippings; they form the flavorful base for your gravy.
Resting the turkey after cooking is crucial. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, preventing it from being dry.
