the traditional way is to place in baking tray with slices of bacon a small amount of goose fat and cook till golden brown
to get more portions from the bird you can bone the turkey and cook the joints in the same way . its much easier to slice a 25 lb bird would give 50 portions or 2 to the pound .

That is great that someone thought well of you to give you a fresh turkey.
If you will rub your turkey with olive oil, butter, or oil and then put the turkey. in a turkey basting bag. It will be moist and fall off the bone.
