Something I've hurt about turkey is to turn it upside down halfway through cooking
This allows the juices to run through the breast, and stop it from drying out as much.

Before she would flounce over everything WBM/BSM wasn't too bad. Also, spikeypickle, simply because he's my mate.

it's not that hard to stop it drying out
most people just can't cook very well.

The secret is to keep your bird moist...
...and make sure there is plenty of festive stuffing.

Ignoring the innuendo
that's actually true, the breast cooks quicker than the legs so if you add enough stuffing you can slow down the cooking of the breast to stop it overcooking.

Agreed.
Give the breasts a regular coating of juice.

Stuffing inbetween the skin and breasts
with a layer of bacon on top, tented in foil, take the foil and bacon off for the last half hour of cooking.

Sorted.

don't necessarily need the stuffing in there
but the foil and bacon plan is the one I follow. Leave the bacon on when the foil comes off though so you get ultra-crisp, saltastic bacon

I'm calling the RSPCA if you hurt any turkeys.

It'll be too big for that,
regular basting should help.
