The first time I read accurate information on what temperature to cook my bird to. All of the magazines, TV cooks, even brochures from the market tell you to cook to 155-165 degrees. The result is a raw bird that needs to go back in the oven after it's carved, drying it out. I am convinced that the people who write for some magazines and TV shows have never cooked a turkey in their lives, much less been anywhere near the kitchen. I'm glad there are some dependable sources for information.
