I use Elton Brown's Good Eats Turkey Recipe, with a few modifications.
Brine the bird.
No "stuffing" but with the called for aromatics with the substitution of a sour apple instead of a red apple. Also a head of pealed garlic in a sachet bag stuffed inside with the rest of the aromatics.

AFTER brining at least a half day in the refrigerator to throughly dry the bird (This is critical)

Morning of baking, take out of the fridge and let set for one hour.

Cold smoke the bird for two hours.

Transfer to cooking bag and finish baking.

Never dry and always flavorful.

I have been doing turkeys for over 30 years and the key, IMHO, is bringing, good aromatics and the cooking bag.

Enjoy
