[quote=Anonymous]I would strongly urge you to break the turkey down into four parts (remove the backbone, split at breast, remove the leg/thigh). Then you can roast these pieces for the two turkeys in two roasting pans and do so in about 3-3.5 hours: 1 hour to temper the meat (take it out of fridge) and then around 2 hours to cook. It's much easier to get the breasts to 160 degrees without overcooking. I also would urge you to dry brine for a few days, if you have the refrigerator space (you'll need two roasting pans to handle two turkeys and have the pieces open to the air so it goes through the process. I only do turkeys this way now, not for the convenience but because the tenderness and flavor is off the charts, consistently. In your case, the "resting" time after cooking will be the transit time[/quote]
