For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage to the turkey cavity along with the stuffing. Ensure the turkey is fully thawed before cooking for even roasting. Use a reliable meat thermometer to accurately gauge the turkey's internal temperature. If the turkey skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the final stages of roasting. Letting the turkey rest allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
