Cooking the Turkey White Meat Separately from the Dark Meat to get the Temps right.

Chef Jacob,

I remember you concluding during the audio podcast on roasting that the ideal way to cook a turkey is to  cook the white meat separately fromthe dark meat because they require different temperatures to be cooked properly.  I made a lot of sense, but you didnt describe how to go about  attempting the process.

I came across a pretty good description yesterday which explains the process using a video. Still dont think I'll try it this Thanksgiving as would rather try it on a smaller scale some other time.  However, its a great way to learn how  to do it for those that have a bit more courage than I do this holiday season.
