I like turkey if not dry. 
The biggest thing I've noticed is that properly cooked turkey breast is very moist and succulent if it goes onto your plate IMMEDIATELY after you slice it. If someone slices the turkey, and then it gets put out onto a platter, and then 15+ minutes go by while the family all gets seated, and then you FINALLY get it on your plate to eat... It's dried out. And what do you think usually happens in most houses on Thanksgiving? So you gotta douse it in gravy. 

In this way it's a lot like brisket. If you slice a brisket and then it sits a while before it gets eaten, it can go from the most moist and decadent BBQ meat in existence, worth eating without any additional liquid, to dry and requiring BBQ sauce to hydrate it in a VERY short time.

Our oven has a T probe that is quite effective I find.

We're thinking of doing Steaksgiving this year instead of making a turkey.
I've done this a few times.
My daughters love steak and when they are scheduled to have turkey at 2 or 3 other meals with grandparents and friends, they appreciate a nice steak instead of the 4th meal of turkey at the holiday

I've also done this at Xmas

We do all kinds of different stuff at Christmas.  Enchiladas, tamales, standing rib roast, pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin.

Ribbon-cutting set for key new Atlanta BeltLine section | Urbanize Atlanta

This was based on a master's thesis by a Tech guy oddly named Ryan Gravel.  It's getting there, this is very close to us, less than a mile.  Take old RR rights of way and make a pedestrian and bike path, it has been hugely impactful, heavy development wherever it goes, 22 miles all the way around.

I still don't think brining (which I've done) solves the issue that once that meat is sliced and sitting out on a platter, it starts drying out quickly... 

I certainly think it's an improvement over not brining. And agree with Alton that you need a good probe and to pull it at 155, not 160, as you'll get carryover and it'll be safe if you pull at 155. And DEFINITELY not to go on time or those cheap-ass pop-up thermos... Going too high on temp is always going to kill it no matter whether you brine or not, and I think overcooked is the norm for too many kitchens...
