30 minutes minimum UNFOILED! Unless you want to ruin the skin.

Def don't want to ruin the skin. It's absolutely my favorite part of the turkey.:biggrin1:
Thanks for the help!

You guys leave the skin on?! All this time I've been taking it off, melting it down, and drinking it. Wonder what I'm missing out on..

Yes, all large pieces of cooked meat should rest. I rest my turkey
loosely rented with foil for 20-30 minutes.

Yep - all meat benefits from a rest. The larger the longer.

Yes.
Absolutely yes.
They are big birds that can fly at 55MPH and run at 25MPH and that is very tiring.
They can't see chit at night so that is the best time, just pop them high on a branch in a tree.

I always let mine rest 30 min after a long day of cooking. Gives me a chance to have a cold one or two before carving.
