That's how I do mine but they never come out albino! If they're not brown enough, I cook without the lid for the last 15 minutes. DH 7 DD both eat the skin and say it's good that way. YUCK!

We rotate our turkey during the cooking. If it's breast up the whole time the breast meat will get way too dry. It spends a little time on all 4 sides. We also add carrots, celery and onions to the pan. It seasons the drippings, making it flavorful when you baste. It also makes for good soup starter.
