For an even deeper flavor, consider brining the turkey overnight before roasting. This will ensure a moist and flavorful bird throughout. If the turkey skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Be sure to let the turkey rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. The pan drippings make an amazing gravy! Strain the drippings, skim off excess fat, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry for a delectable accompaniment to your turkey.
