For years I have found the MOST foolproof way of cooking turkey
is in a plain BROWN PAPER BAG.  Yes, the kind you bring your 
groceries home in.

Stuff him/her with whatever, butter, salt, pepper, paprika the
outside, stuff him/her in that brown paper bag, roll up the
opening and staple it shut.  Put the whole thing on a cookie
sheet, (to catch the juices) turn on the oven to 350 or so
and cook for the recommended minutes per pound.  You will end
up with a beautifully browned, moist turkey that anyone would
admire.  While it is cooking you can do whatever.....no basting
is required.  The paper bag will NOT catch fire....there is enough
moisture to keep is from burning up.  

Forget the days of basting every 20 minutes.  Enjoy your day!
