Oh my thank you for your honest post! That is very helpful. (Unfortunately I have an open concept home and a very intrusive mother in law (YET I may gather her experience for making sure we get the temp. taken properly :-). I agree with you though about over versus undercooking. The other part of the turkey was exquisite :-). I could see if it was in longer the dark meat would be dry. Instead it was perfect.

Does the turkey continue to cook after it has been 'let' out of the oven? We only let it sit 5-10 minutes as it was just me and my honey and we were HUN-GRY!

many Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours!

Yes. It continues cooking. You should plan on letting it rest for at least 30 minutes. Hard to do with people clammering for food. But it takes that long to get the gravy right and warm up the rolls.
