The turkey was done WAY early. I think that the close quarters in which the turkey was roasting had a lot to do with it. Additionally, this method made quite a bit of steam...causing the skin to be soggy but the bird to be moist. Hmmmm, could I have discovered a potential cross-cooking method? Perhaps next year we'll start it out in the electric roaster and then finish it in the oven. To be continued....

How strange. The "juices run clear" thing is what I looked for this year (in addition to using the meat thermometer). Next year I want to get one of those probe thermometers you can leave in the bird while it cooks, that'll beep when it reaches the correct temp.
