My trick for making tasty turkey isn't so much a trick, really. I usually just do a breast. I get them from Roche Bros., about 2.5-3 pounds rolled up and netted like a pot roast. Wrap it up in aluminum foil with aromatics. I use half an apple sliced up, a broken up cinnamon stick, thyme and sage, a sweet onion sliced up, about a tablespoon of butter and about 1/4 cup of water. Insert a meat thermometer in one end, wrap it up nice and tight, and put in a 350F oven. Cook until the thermometer reaches 160-165F. Take it out of the oven and let it sit until the internal temperature reaches 170F. Unwrap the foil and cover loosely with clean foil and let rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. Use the seasoned juices to make gravy or season pan stuffing or whatever you like. It doesn't look impressive but it tastes really good and the foil keeps it from drying out.
