Turkey, the centerpiece of everyone's Thanksgiving meal, can be prepared a number of ways, but, ultimately we all want it to be tender and succulent with the meat practically falling off the bone. There are several ways to cook a moist juicy turkey.

Or, if you're able, get a heritage breed turkey (if you're in Philly, D'Angelo Brothers on 9th has spectacular prices for FRESH Bourbon Reds, and it's great to support local merchants and local farmers), I'd recommend salt, pepper, and butter.
