This is not the typical turkey most of us are used to getting at our Thanksgiving dinner. You know, the kind while being asked if it is too dry, you shake your head NOOOO and say, “it’s perfect.” Meanwhile, you are secretly strategizing how much gravy you can pour on without taking the whole boat.

Of course, you can get better results if you were to separate the turkey (white and dark meat) and cook it at the desired temperature for each. But that’s not what we’re going for here.
