Keep the Skin
Keeping the skin on chicken and turkey while it's baking ensures that the flesh will be moist and doesn't transfer much fat to the flesh. Just remove the skin and discard after cooking. The poultry will be much more flavorful and tender, and the fat content will be virtually the same as skinless.
