Comment: Sheila, I have used an oven bag many times. Yes, your turkey will cook faster and it will be really moist. It may not get nicely browned but you can stick it back in the oven for browning once you take it out of the bag or cut the bag open and pull it down around the turkey and allow it to brown. Just don't leave it in the oven too long or you will lose some of its moistness.
