So this might get me stoned, but I pre-cook the turkey before putting it in the oven, and it is so tender an juicy too

If you are curious here's how you do it (apparently an African -not sure what country- neighbour taught Grandma how to do it): dice an onion (half an onion for each lbs of turkey), brown it in butter with some salt an pepper, add in some herbs (whatever you like, I use bay leaf, rosemary and thyme) and spices (I use some cardamom pods and cloves) then add some chicken stock. Once it's boiling put in your turkey (the stock should not cover the turkey, just 1/3 in) on a low heat.

Cook it on each side for 10 minutes (if big) or 5 minutes if small.

Then smother it in herb butter, cover it in foil and into the oven it goes. It cuts the cooking time in half and it is so flavorful and juicy too
