Roast it for approximately 20-25 minutes per pound in a 325 - 350 degree oven. Slather it with olive oil or butter to keep the juices inside.

Get a paper bag and make a tent, so it heats evenly. It won't burn. Baste every 20 minutes until it's cooked.

If you don't care about presentation, roast it breast side down, which will guarantee moistness.You can always turn it breast side up to brown the skin.

If you use paprika as part of your seasonings, the skin gets nice and brown.

Have fun.

Oh. Stuffing also keeps a turkey moist.
