I’ve had turkey just about every possible way it can be cooked, and it just isn’t that good.
Doesn’t matter how juicy or dry and it doesn’t matter what herbs or spices are used, it just not that tasty.
Give me a brisket or a standing rib roast or just about anything that isn’t turkey for thanksgiving.
That’s not how turkey meat is supposed to be. Sounds like the breast meat got way too hot and started to dry out.
I only do breast roasts nowadays because the different parts of a full turkey have different ideal final temperatures. Brining and then smoking has resulted in fantastic entrees every year for the last six years. I’m up to making 5 roasts at a time now for each holiday because everyone wants leftovers as well.
