My best defense against dry turkey? A good meat thermometer, which 
tells you when the bird is done, and no more, and a good level place 
to put the bird when you take it out of the oven.

Or one could go all 19th-century on its butt, so to speak, and lard 
the turkey. I mean, for those who would rather have turkey. There's 
nothing quite like the look on people's faces when they see those 
little matchstick strips protruding like little quills from the 
turkey.

They ask if you're insane (which of course you are). They ask if you 
know how bad this is for you (yeah, about as bad as a pork roast, 
egads). Then they taste it.

Adamantius (who never really saw the point of pouring liquid onto the 
upper surface of a meat whose interior is getting dry; it's rather 
like squirting a water gun at a person with heat stroke, instead of 
giving them a drink, no?)
