  12. Reduce temperature to 325°F and baste turkey with pan juices.
  13. Add water to roasting pan and roast turkey, basting every 20 minutes, 2 1/2 to 3 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted in fleshy part of a thigh registers 180° F and juices run clear when thigh is pierced.

  15. Keep turkey warm, covered loosely with foil.
