Have courage. Roasting a turkey isn't harder than roasting a chicken, it just takes longer because a turkey is larger. My one suggestion is to roast it breast-down for all but the last hour, then turn it so the breast browns. The fat from the back will melt downward into the breast, making it much, much juicier.
Outside the holiday season, turkeys tend to be cheap so we buy one every month or so. We cook it on a weekend and have the meat to munch on for a while. We never get tired of it.
