Cooking the turkey in cranberry sauce keeps it moist and tender. You can vary the sauce by subbing jalapenos for the ginger or adding 3 or 4 whole cloves instead. Keep in mind that whenever you roast turkey, it's best to use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat, which should be a minimum of 165°F. Insert the thermometer's probe into the thickest part of the meat (without touching bone if there is any) and hold the probe there a few seconds until the temperature stabilizes. You'll get it right every time.
