These are tools you don't HAVE to have but they sure make cooking a whole lot easier.
Fat separator with screen. This is the tool I use to put the pan juices of the turkey in after it's done. The fat will rise to the top and you can pour off the broth leaving the fat behind. And the chunks of stuff that might be in there. And then those juices are used in my pan gravy. :) And life is good.
You might not be able to see it very well, but an "instant read thermometer" is very handy. That way you can check the temp without having to bend over into the oven all day. Check it quickly and get back out of there so all the heat doesn't escape.
A baster with a injector. It speaks for itself. You can inject the butter and broth back into the turkey when you baste. And cooking twine (in case your turkey legs aren't trussed together already) last year mine had a wicked wire thing holding them together.
You can find most of these things at cooking stores but I think I got my gadgets from Williams-Sonoma. My mothership.
