We flip the bird for the last little bit of cooking to try to brown the skin too. I tried the Heritage turkey last year - my locally-raised, free-range, $85 turkey that my husband drove a 2 hour round trip to pick up, arrived.... frozen. Yep. We found the same thing - it was a good turkey, but not 2-3 times as good as the grocery store turkey brined and roasted upside down. Breast meat side down is the best, without question.

Upside down turkey is but a prelude to a relationship overwhelmed with romance. One of these days, soon, soon, Mr. Henry promises to make his celebrated Moroccan bastilla. Then she will become like the oyster on the halfshell swooning in ocean brine. Mrs. Henry never stops giving thanks for her dreamboat chef de cuisine’s beautiful bird.

I had never seen this done before I met him, but it's a stroke of genius. (I am sure that your wife, like me, gives thanks that she met a man who can roast a beautiful bird.) We may have to try a dry salt rub next year. Mr. Henry, my fiance also cooks our turkey upside-down! I had never seen this done before I met him, but it’s a stroke of genius.
