155-160 degrees is most important... Roasting a turkey in a cooking bag. Good idea or not?

Why would anyone do it not in a bag?
Buy the quality Reynolds brand and add flour before the bird.
Get it all set up, figure out the top side, cut some slits in the bag to not explode.
It holds all the juices in and does not leave a mess. There is not downside.
MOST IMPORTANT!!!! HAVE AND USE A TEMPERATURE MEASURE, PROPERLY CALIBRATED
IF YOU DO NOT OWN ONE.... BUY ONE!! BUY REMOTE DIGITAL READ OUTS, $20.00
USE THE GAUGE TO COOK THE TURKEY UNTIL TEMPERATURE IS 155 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT
PUSH THE GAUGE IN TO THE CORRECT SPOT TO READ, look on youtube in you do not know
When it reaches temp pull turkey out, cover it/tent it in foilfor 15-20 minutes
If you do not know how to carve off the meat watch a couple of 2-3 minute videos, it is worth it
ALSO- Little known fact. I heard, never tried myself, never needed too...
but I heard that those bag will contain the smell of even the skunkiest of skunk
if when anyone needs to transport some and not reek up the vehicle.
