Alton Brown's stock recipe includes the instruction to put an open steamer basket on top of all the ingredients -- works beautifully! You can then mash all the stuff at the bottom easily!

I know it sounds heretical, but I don't baste. I do put some butter and herbs under the skin, or olive oil and herbs on top, but I do not baste. The turkey is still wonderfully moist. I think the real secret is tenting it with foil. If it isn't brown enough, take the foil off for the last hour.

The applesauce/cinnamon ornament recipe is on the McCormick Spice website: http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Other/Cinnamon-Ornaments.aspx
Glue is not necessary, but lots of cinnamon is. I made a batch of these ornaments 20 years ago and we are still hanging the survivors on the tree each year!
