You want golden, crackly skin, right? Who doesn’t? The secret is low and slow for the first half, then crank the heat at the end. Start at 325°F, then for the last 30-45 minutes, bump it up to 400°F or 425°F.

But don’t wander off. That skin goes from “gorgeous” to “charcoal” in about two minutes. I’ve seen it happen. It’s tragic. So keep an eye on it like a hawk.

The “tent” trick: foil is your friend

About halfway through, when the breast is getting nicely brown, tent the whole bird with aluminum foil. This stops the top from burning while the dark meat catches up. It’s like putting a little silver blanket on your turkey. Very cozy.

Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes if you want that final crisp. Otherwise, your turkey will look like it’s wearing a pale sweater. Not the vibe for Thanksgiving photos.
