I thought maybe you checked for tan lines!
I use a Taylor probe thermometer for almost every roast I cook, both inside and outside of the house. I use a Thermopen instant read for steaks and chops.
I've never heard of the thermometer in the oven that you guys speak of. That's SO cool!

Mine has a thermo-probe, too. I just always forget it's there!
YUP mine has one just like GG and I also forget it's there untill whatever is done cooking!I imagine they're pretty much the same, but mine is on a cord with a plug at one end and the thermometer probe at the other. When you want to use it, you plug it into a receptacle inside the oven and the probe into the meat. Then you can set the oven to the temp you want the finished meat to be, along with the roasting temp, and let it go
I wiggle and pinch the leg to see if it's soft. But I stick a thermometer in it as well to verify. Unfortunately, all of my thermometers register differently, so I end up just cussing at them and pinching the leg like my grandmother did.
I remove those little plastic things and throw them out. They guarantee a dry, overcooked turkey every time!

put a teaspoon of popcorn in the turkey butt, when it pops and blows the ass off the turkey. It's done
