One suggestion I've seen on the cooking network is to cook at 425 for
about 45 minutes then reduce to 350. Cook to 165 uncovered. Remove
from oven, cover with aluminum foil. It will finish cooking by itself.
180f will overcook and dry out your turkey.
My favorite way though is to brine the turkey
Mustard is also a very good marinade. I will often use a comination of
