  1. Set the turkey breast side up in boiling water for 15-20 minutes.

    Remove from pan of water and put turkey in the roaster. Cook to breast temp of 160. Dark meat will be 170-175 at that point.

    Carryover crosses the finish line.

  2. I am going to spatchcock a 10 -12 lb turkey …and I will have higher chance of moist turkey breast. I do it with my chicken and the breast comes out so moist. Stuffing is cooked separately using the juices in the roasting pan and chicken stock, etc.
    I take turkey out at 155 to 158 and let it rest under a tented foil. The carryover heat will bring the temp up.
    I generally don’t eat other people’s turkey as it’s too dry for me.

  3. Absolutely no way chefs at America's Test Kitchen are leaving their turkey in the oven until 165. I think every media outlet is just too scared of getting sued if they say that they actually pull the turkey out at 150-155.
