Same here. Not the way I'd do it, but I don't knock what works.
Keeping the lid on helps keep the meat moist, the removing does give
some browning at the end.

Turkey was often done in those blue enameled roaster with the cover on

When we got our Bertazzoni range with convection oven, the recommended
using higher temperatures with the meat on a rack. It works well.
