I usually use diced onion, carrot, celery and minced garlic fried in butter for the stuffing. Moisten with broth, not water.

Boil the turkey innards to make broth then dice them up to put in the stuffing, (I give ours to the dog, he LOVES it.)

A few years back I made stuffing as above, but added minced walnuts and a touch of cinnamon, the guests loved it, the family did not, that was the last time for that.

Some experts suggest cooking the turkey upside down so the juices run into the meaty part of the bird, not out through the bony part. It doesn't make for the classic golden brown thanksgiving picture though.

Rub the cavity and under the skin with a mixture of softened butter, garlic, and chive (my mother used to do this)

That ought to help.

I got an email (hilarious!) about putting a little tinfoil “bikini” on the bird, arranging the upper legs to look like a sunbather, baking it nice and brown, and then watching your guests faces as they see the roasted sunbather, LOL!
