"Hit or miss" is a misnomer. So, i watched a fairly good chef do hit or miss with turkeys. And it was slightly dry (i couldn't tell) or it didn't have enough flavor (i couldn't tell). He was trying all kinds of things.

But, honestly, he often just puts the turkey in an oven bag, and does it that way.
That is why my first line was, just get an oven bag (and should add, a pre-brined turkey)
