If you spray butter Pam on and season well with onions, garlic, herbs and orange/lemon in the middle it will get nice and brown and flavorful. I never baste because it only flavors the skin. I cook the turkey breast side down at first and flip over half way. I keep a probe in the thigh and pull out to rest at 168-170. You can ensure the breast and thigh get done at the same time by slashing the thigh in a couple places on each side. I usually brine my turkey but not always. A fresh turkey doesn't need brining like a thawed one does. I usually put some broth at the bottom of the pan and veggies on the rack to set the turkey on. I drain that, throw in freezer and skim off fat while turkey rests then I add that to a gravy base I make with more veggies, broth, herbs and the neck and cook while the turkey is cooking. I add a mix of cornstarch and water to that mixture (base and drippings) and cook until thick. I have someone else do this while I carve the turkey across the grain and place on a platter. Hope this helps!

By far, a trash can turkey. Extremely easy, very tasty. You need: 1) a small metal trash can (about three feet high and maybe 18 inches in diameter) 2)Some sort of metal rod to hold the turkey. 3) Aluminum foil. 4) Charcoals. Put aluminum foil on the ground. Put a 10-12 pound turkey, suspended on a rod at a height above the ground, but below the height of the trashcan. I put a syrup cup on a 3 foot piece of rebar that I've pounded into the ground. I also put a bundt cake pan below the turkey to capture the juices. the syrup cup fits into the neck cavity and suspends the turkey. Put the trashcan upside down over the turkey and aluminum foil. Place charcoals that have been lit and are now not flaming, around and on top of the trashcan. About 2 1/2 or 3 hours later, the perfect turkey.
