The Worst Turkey I Ever Roasted out of 36 years

I had the worst turkey dinner of my entire life. Let me state I have been roasting turkeys for 36 years. All but my first one which admittedly was overdone and dry have been moist tender birds with beautiful browned skin and a pleasure to carve. This includes 6 wild turkeys I personally harvested. Most all the birds averaged more than 20 lbs in dry weight. This week's bird weighed 19.66 lbs.

I treated this bird the same as I have done all the others. It was frozen so took 4 days in fridge to defrost it. Took it out Thursday morning and washed the bird off inside and out.

Patted it dry then wiped a bit of olive oil and butter mix on the skin and applied simple salt and pepper seasoning. Seasoned the inside similarly.

Set it in a roasting pan on a rack and added a butter and broth mixture to the bottom to baste it with and to mix with drippings for gravy.

Roasted as usual being careful not to dry it out basting it regularly. It was done and at temperature 15 minutes earlier than anticipated removed from oven and placed on a platter and wrapped it in a tent of foil for it to finish and to let the meat rest.

Now all of my turkeys have been delicious and moist and tender and easy to carve.

Notice the picture above, that was the brand and type used this week.

First the bird was like carving styrofoam board. That dry and tough. The only moisture found in meat on this bird was in what was in contact with drippings and it was tough also.

My question is this, is there some special way you should roast an "Organic" turkey.

I ask as I am worried I might have done something wrong here but reviewing my process In did not deviate from what I have done in the 35 birds previous to this. The meat was dry and tough like the slabs of jerky you buy at the gas station. Except the jerky was chewable.

The meat from this turkey is so tough I can not use it for sandwiches. The white meat is like stringy cardboard and the dark meat is worse.

Anyone with experience with this brand and type of turkey please chime in on your experience with it and any ideas.

I appreciate it.
