If your turkey is done early, don’t panic. Tent it with foil and wrap it in a clean towel. It will stay hot for two hours.
If your turkey is late, crank the heat to 425°F for the last 20 minutes. Just risk the burnt skin. It adds character.
And remember: You are not just cooking a turkey. You are taming a 24-pound dinosaur. You are a hero. A sleepy, tired, slightly greasy hero. Enjoy every bite.
