Let It Rest -

The secret to a juicy Turkey is letting the bird rest before carving.  It is not the basting which if you keep opening the oven can do more harm than good. Opening the oven lowers the temperature. The turkey will continue to cook and the juices will reabsorb if you let it rest for a minimum of 25 minutes and longer if you have over a 15 lb turkey.  If the juices start to run out when you make the first cut stop - have a drink - make some conversation - watch some football - and let it rest!
