Regarding cooking a turkey, my husband (who is the "real" chef in the family) accidentally cooked a bird upside down one year and discovered later from a chef friend of ours that she always cooks them that way, i.e., the juices run down into the breast making it far more juicy and tender. Also, as much as all of you health concious people will blow a gasket with my next comment, coat the bird with good ole mayo if you want it to turn out juicy, moist and golden brown.
