Last year my wife found a recipe on line that called for putting a mixture of butter, lemon zest, parsley under the turkey skin and then onions, garlic, parsley stuffed in the turkey. It was good and moist that way with a unique flavor.
This year she did that but added carrots, celery, onions, garlic, jalapeños and an apple sliced up underneath the turkey.
The results were good as far as the turkey, it was as moist and tender as I've ever seen a turkey, but the vegetables underneath dried out too much during cooking. Turkey is really good though and with mashed potatoes, baked beans, cranberry sauce and banana pudding we had plenty of good food.
