For the last several years, I've thought about trying the method described with a turkey, but I always wimped out at the last minute. Since you only get one chance each year to do the Thanksgiving feast right, it's a little scary to try new stuff. This time, though, I was on a roll. Since everything else was coming together so well, I finally decided to take a risk on the turkey. When it came out of the oven, 10 people were standing in my kitchen, and they sort of collectively gasped. One of our (non-family) guests asked, Where did you get that turkey? And what did you do to it? It looks like something out of a magazine. :) To my absolute delight, it tasted as good as it looked. Everybody said it was the juiciest, most flavorful turkey they'd ever eaten. So, yeah, flipping the bird works even when it's The Big Bird. Cook time is a total guess. You'll need to check the temp.
