It depends on the size of the turkey, because the bag can't ouch the top, sides, or bottom of the roaster. But the roaster already cooks moist, so the bag may ber overkill.
The Rival manual suggested 375 for pre basted or 350 for fresh 9-14
minutes per pound. In my experience this is too hot. I use 325 for 4 to
4 3/4 hours for an 18 pound turkey. The USDA now uses 165 as the end
point temp (down quite a bit from a few years ago), but if you stuff,
that has to be in the middle of the stuffing, and the turkey will
overcook somewhat while it gets there. All experts agree that turkeys
cook better and safer if unstuffed, so considering that you will have
to make an extra pan of stuffing to have it for everyone, you would be
well advised to cook your turkey unstuffed and use some of the
drippings to flavor the pan of stuffing while the turkey rests.
