Apple Brined No Fail Turkey--My Method
This is not recommended for a turkey that has been injected with all sorts of stuff.

The point is to have all of the body juices from the fattier parts of the turkey migrate down to the breast while moisture from the water and aromatics of the pan steam upward, self basting the turkey and keeping the breast meat from drying out.

The dark meat will be fine because the foil on top will keep the moisture in as it rises upwards. If you want the breast skin to be brown, you will need to turn the bird breast side up and put the broiler on for a few minutes before serving. The meat will be tender and juicy.

You will need a roasting pan that has a "V" rack.

Melt one cup of Kosher salt with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in 2 quarts of apple juice. Add about 1 T. of allspice to the brine. Cool the brine.

Remove the giblets from the body cavity or neck cavity and wash turkey thoroughly inside and out. Drain and put in a large enough container like a large soup pot so that it can be completely covered with apple juice/brine. Add more juice or water to cover turkey. Put in refrigerator for 18-24 hours.

Remove turkey from brine on day of cooking in enough time to roast it according to the directions that came with it on the packaging. DO NOT STUFF. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, dry turkey on the outside and spray completely with PAM.

Lay it breast side down in the roasting rack. Put one inch of water in roasting pan. Put celery pieces, onion pieces, garlic, rosemary or thyme in the water. Cut a large piece of heavy duty foil and spray the inside with PAM. Put the foil with the oiled side down on the bird and crimp around the edges.

Put turkey in the oven and turn temp down to prescribed temperature after 30 minutes. Cook per directions.

Not a Chance
Restaurants have many magic and secret methods to cure cook and prepare their meats...
NO
its magic..

just bake it with a specail sauce rubbed all over it..the same is made from butter, parsley, chives, chopped onions, semem, garlic, and pepper flakes

I heard that brining a turkey makes it moist and yummy (see my recent questions for info). Also stuff it with apples, celery, onions and spices. Remember to season the top and season a bit under the skin.
