Perfectly Moist Turkey, Every Time
Experience has shown me that we end up with fabulously moist turkeys (even Heritage birds) by cooking our turkeys exactly the opposite way recommended by 1-800-BUTTERBALL.

Edit (11/17/09): Even though Mikah no longer has allergies to dairy or eggs, we still make this pie.
