To prepare a delicious self-basting turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, start by seasoning the turkey with salt, pepper, and herbs. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and add some broth or butter to keep it moist while cooking. Cover the turkey with foil for the first part of cooking, then remove the foil to let it brown. Baste the turkey with its own juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful. Cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Let it rest before carving and serving.

A cheesecloth soaked in butter and wine will keep the turkey moist. I also put a butter/herb mix under the turkey skin. You will find that there is less basting and it also turns out a wonderful color. Remove cloth for the last 30 min or so.

Yes, silcone basting brushes do last longer than nylon basting brushes. They nylon tends to get warped after a while.
Before roasting the turkey prepare it by massaging butter between the skin and the breast meat, then as the turkey roasts the butter will start the basting process as is slowly melts, some of the butter together with meat juices and turkey fat will gather in the base of the roasting pan, use this liquor to continue the basting process.
