I didn't stuff the bird, but am cooking the stuffing separately because I heard that helps not to have to overcook the breastmeat. Dry white meat blows. Look at Al Gore.

If you brine the bird the white meat will be moist but it may shorten the roasting time and you should tent the breast if you are experiencing dry meat. We have a convection over and it cooks a little faster also and we use a remote digital thermometer. You can not always trust the popup button per Alton Brown.

Alton Brown hasn't steered me wrong yet. I followed his brine recipe this year and last. It was great last year!!! On your convection oven, do you lower the roasting temp with convection on? My manual says to drop the temp 25 degree but I don't have any experience using it.
