Pay a professional to make it for you. After you land the good paying gig then you can learn how to make a perfect bird.
you are aware that thanksgiving is the celebration of the slaughter of 80 million indigenous Americans right?
you make me sick.

I hope somebody else get dat cookie gig. Yo ass need to cook, cook and cook!
put it in the oven
Cook it upside down. The breast meat is the dryest so if you cook it upside down it is more like braising so it remains moister. Turn it back over and brown the top before serving. Alternatively use a baster to continuously moisten the breast while cooking or bard the top of the turkey with bacon while cooking and brown it before you finish.

Skip the baster shit and use a cheesecloth. Google cheesecloth turkey. Martha Stewart looks like she has a legit recipe.

THIS. Soak your cheesecloth in a mixture if white wine and melted butter. Then use the remainder of wine and butter to baste. Best turkey ever.

Works the same for turkey, will probably take like 8 hours to cook. You can even skip the brining and drying step. Also don't stuff it, stuffing needs to be cooked a higher temperature.

Waddamean WTH? Cheesecloth is some bad*ss cooking stuff. I also use it for making glogg, that holds orange peel, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and cloves to simmer in some wine to spice it.
