The last two turkeys that I have done, I took the thigh to 180 degress. I was concerned that it would be dry so I watched it closely and pulled it right at 180. The meat was moist(I brined), but not tender. It was certainly edible, but not what I was looking for.
Help me understand on far can I push the temp to get the meat tender and not dry it out. My guess, since poultry is a lot less forgiving than pork, it is a much smaller window.
Thanks.
