re: Turkey coming apart.

I've never had a turkey do that, either. Did you dry out the inside of the cavity after you brined it? Maybe that's why it tastes steamed. Also, next time, roast at 350 for 20 minutes a lb. you can crank it up to 500 the first 30 minutes to make the skin crispy and cut the roasting time by 30-45 minutes, or leave it uncovered for the first 30-45 minutes. I usually do the latter.

I think this was the case. I took it straight from the brine and put it in the roaster. The extra moisture is probably what did me in... giving it that steam effect. I'll probably cook another turkey(or two) before Christmas because I'm determined to get this right... it irks me when I can't do something.
