I always cook all poultry breast-down! No point in having crispy skin on the breast if the meat itself is dry and unappetizing. I also don’t have a roasting pan, so I cook the turkey in a deep Pyrex dish. The breast sits in the drippings the whole time, and ends up perfect every time.

I always follow my Joy of Cooking instructions and use a butter soaked cloth to protect the breast. I may try upside down sometime.

Elena – My roasting pan has a lid. I think you should use foil instead – though I hate to say it because of the aluminum. But, if you have unbleached parchment paper, put a sheet of that over the turkey, then the foil, so the foil doesn’t touch the turkey. The main goal is to seal in moisture, so yes, the turkey should be covered in some fashion. Enjoy!

Wardeh,you said that you put the cover on and transfer the pan to the oven. What kind of pan are you using? My roasting pan doesn’t have a cover. Is foil cover good enough for this method? Thank you.
