How do I get the turkey skin crispy?

JimiRayClapton,
Try just a little corn starch sprinkled on the skin before it goes into the egg. This works for chicken and ought to work for turkey.

JimiRayClapton,
This year I did a breast and got skin so crispy it was hard to believe. I finally took the time to do what Harold McGee and others have suggested: Put the bird in your refrigerator uncovered 48 hours before you are ready to cook. This dries the skin out. Then I coated it with butter and just did a normal roast. Wow, what a difference![p]TNW

Thanks guys. The tenting trick worked today but it doesn't always. I'll keep your suggestions in mind.
