you can buy a foil pan at Walmarts or your grocery and a roll of foil wrap and that's all you need besides a sharp knife!
Apart from the pan, a large spoon to baste with and a knife to cut it withA big fork to hold it steady while you cut is useful too I always use a fish slice to lift birds and joints on to a board for carving, but you don't have to.
Get an aluminum pan from the grocery storeIf you want it extra juicy, get a bake in bag made by Reynolds Aluminum for Turkey, alsoWash your turkey after it is thawed, put it in the pan, or in the bag in the pan, breast side up, rub salt inside and outSet your oven at 350 degrees, and bake 20 minutes to the poundBaste with it's own juices, or add a half pound of butter to the juicesCook with it covered for the first half of the cooking time, and uncovered for the second halfYour meat thermometer should read 160 to 180 in the thigh and mid breast when it is doneA better test is the leg and thigh should easily separate from the body with a small tug.
There are a number of techniques to make the loft cool, one of the techniques is to have a thatched straw roof hut placed exactly above it in your terrace, also sprinkling cool water on your terrace area above the loft would helpOne of the better solutions I would suggest is insulating your loft and you can ask the insulation contractors to also provide sufficient ventilationConsider options like having Solar powered vents
