Step 4: Roast and baste the turkey

Place your turkey into the preheated oven. You can relax a little now. But every 30 minutes or so, you should baste the turkey. The purpose of basting is to keep the turkey meat moist.

Baste your turkey by covering it in its own juice. If you have a basting syringe, use it to draw up the drippings in the pan and then gently spray them over the top of the turkey. If you're using a basting brush, dip it into the juices and gently brush it over the turkey.

If the turkey hasn't produced much juice early in the roasting process, you can baste the turkey with melted butter.

About two-thirds through the roasting time, once the skin turns golden brown, place an aluminum foil tent over the turkey to protect it from burning. Make sure you prop the foil tent on the sides of the pan or rack, so it doesn't touch the skin.
