Will slather with a no salt butter herb rub while it comes up to room temp for a couple hours.

Never leave poultry out to warm up at room temp.

Many have already posted that you are late !

For those using the oven, you may want to try this:
* Layer the bottom of your baking pan with the French trinity ( carrots instead of bell pepper:.
* Place the turkey on the vegetables
* I baste the turkey with melted butter & a little cayenne added
* The drippings really flavor the vegetables for an additional side

I purée some of the cooked vegetables & use in the gravy.

I used to brine, but MIL didn't like that everyone else liked it. I used to make a rub with olive oil, rosemary and apple mint out of the garden.

We order a smoked turkey these days from a BBQ place. Pop it in the oven for two hours at 300 and it is ready to go - they cook it perfectly, and unless I get drunk and forget to take it out after 2 hours it is still juicy and not overdone.

Much better this way for me and then I focus on some quality sides and drinking.

Not quite room temp, but enough to take the excessive chill off.
