fullStarted basting the turkey with its own turkey oil at around the 3-hour mark and repeated every half an hour. I'm not sure if that really helps but there has to be a reason the turkey baster was invented. :)
At around 2pm, it was ready. Then I opened the canned cranberry blob and microwaved the canned gravy. Then my family had several servings of turkey for lunch. I think it turned out pretty well for something that took very little preparation. Dinner was the same. A bit less than half of the turkey was left over so I carved the remaining meat and packed it into storage containers for sandwiches later.
