Roasting turkey in pieces is a great strategy when cooking for a large crowd. You can buy the turkey already cut up, separate two turkeys yourself, or ask your butcher to do the work for you. Basting with a simple garlic-herb butter gives the turkey an extra depth of flavor that will complement any Thanksgiving side dish.
