Make A Perfect Turkey

Here is a video showing a perfect turkey and how you too can make it for Thanksgiving this year. Many people cook turkeys too long which results in desert-dry birds. Also, if you are not a big family or cooking for 2-4 people why not just buy a bone-in turkey breast? Tastes as good and is easier to cook and less money.[/private]
