Most important for me, is the very first thing I do is rip that piece of shit plastic thermometer out of the bird and use a probe thermometer. Be careful of temps and take it out at least 10 degrees, usually 15, before it's done. Carryover will take care of the rest.

All of this!


try the onion soup instead(or addition to) of the veg stock...
