<human>:  What is the best way to cook a turkey?
<bot>: The best way to cook a turkey is to roast it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and place the bird breast side up in a roasting pan. You should baste the turkey every 30 minutes to keep it moist and cook it for about 15 minutes per pound of turkey. When the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees, it is done. Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
