The biggest and best tip really doesn't have anything to do with cooking it slow or cooking it fast. It truly is more about the temperature you cook it to. Using the indicators that pop up on a turkey might seem like a good idea, but using a meat thermometer is better. All you need to know is the breast meat has to be cooked to 165 degrees, and the dark meat 175 degrees. Another thing worth knowing, don't start carving the bird right away. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes allowing all of the juices to settle back into the meat.
