Sometimes it's just the turkey. Most commercial turkeys are incredibly lean, and parts of breast Will come out dry, no matter what method you use. This is why many people brine the turkey, and there are many many blog posts out there about how to do that, so that could be an option. I personally don't bother, as I tend to undercook my turkey a little bit anyway, closer to 170. You can also try placing A triangle of aluminum foil over the breasts for the last half of the cooking. Good luck!!Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-3911328487586645722015-11-23T10:26:58.679-05:002015-11-23T10:26:58.679-05:00Hi Chef John, I used this method yesterday to cook...Hi Chef John, I used this method yesterday to cook a pre-thanksgiving practice turkey. I followed the recipe and temp guidelines, taking my bird out when the temp of the thigh reached 175. The turkey rested for roughly 30 minutes while I made the gravy. Two things, one, there were barely any drippings in the roasting pan (less than a cup) and the liquid was burned as were the vegetables. Secondly the breast meat was terribly dry. I could barely cut through the skin on top of the breast with me 9" chefs knife. The only difference in how I cooked my turkey from what was shown in the video is that my roasting pan has a rack which the turkey sat on while cooking. What went wrong. I'm not looking forward to doing this again in 3 days. Especially since this will be for my family not just me and my fiancé.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221631049744526665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-41747382100648654612015-03-15T13:40:49.484-04:002015-03-15T13:40:49.484-04:00I was one of those nervous first timers cooking a ...I was one of those nervous first timers cooking a full size turkey last Thanksgiving.
