A roast turkey is really hard to cook well.

Even when it's cooked well, it's merely good, rarely great.

The vast, vast majority of turkey dinners are dry and bland.

There are a lot of situations in life like roasting a turkey: very hard to do well, and even if you do there isn't much upside.

If you aren't roasting the turkey for some other reason (connecting with family and society over a shared tradition) then maybe don't bother?
