Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: This is especially important for the marinade and the yogurt sauce. Fresh herbs, citrus, and spices will give your turkey a delicious flavor.
- Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can easily become dry if it is overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the turkey with a variety of sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and stuffing are all classic sides that pair well with turkey. You can also serve it with a salad or soup.
