Be sure to check the expiration date on spices and milks and dated stuff..

I use smell test for spices, sometimes "fresh" stuff is a dud.

My Turkey Recipe:

Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -imagine that ! When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out.....Give this a try

BAKED STUFFED TURKEY

14-20 lb. turkey

1 cup butter

1 cup stuffing ( Pepperidge Farm is good)

salt and pepper to taste

1cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHERS LOW FAT)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven..Listen for the popping
sounds....

When the turkey's @ss blows the oven door open and the turkey flies across the room it is done

I agree with your nose test, but you must correct the amounts you measure when using the older dated spices.. Usually, we who use our noses think we have a prefect eye with the spoon .. :)
