I think all the butter and liquid in the butterball's makes them seem juicier, but the actual flavor is so much better with the less fatty turkey, just make sure to keep it covered to keep the juices in and then brown it before serving. And while we are talking turkey...I vote for having it as a year round meal...not just for holidays! It's cheap per pound and good for you and baking one and using it for sandwiches instead of preserved deli versions is way better and worth the extra effort!! Gobble, gobble!

Otherwise stick to the butterball.

This year I ordered a turkey from our local Natural Grocers store, it is a free range bird but not a heritage breed. (It was also $4 less per pound than the heritage ones, hence my choice).
