While it is incredibly difficult to keep the breast meat properly hydrated (even I find the best turkeys seem dry with their white meat), another commenter is absolutely correct - a properly done turkey will have absolutely succulent and tasty brown meat. To the point where adding any garnish or gravy is almost an insult.
A thermometer and using foil to protect the breast during cooking is really helpful! I’m a dark meat fan, generally, but some mindful cooking can produce juicy and tender white meat.
Only if it’s not cooked properly. Anyone that feels this way has an open invitation to enjoy brined, compound butter seasoned, spatchcocked goodness at my place. Treat a turkey with love, and it’s delicious!
Turkey is fucking DRY and flavorless.
brine it overnight and cook it properly.
it’s a game changer.
