  165 is probably OK. Even a little less is not going to hurt. Let it
rest 15-20 minutes and the residual heat will get it perfect. Government
suggestions recommend 170, but then the biggest complaint about turkey
is it's too dry. If you take a turkey out at 160, let it rest 15-20
minutes(tented)  it is difficult to determine if it reaches the official
done temp, but you are assured of nice moist turkey.

A carving technique I learned recently is cut the breast off in 1 piece
and make thicker slices across the breast. IOW, the breast will be on
the cutting board like a log. Make slices across the width. The slices
will be smaller circumference wise, but I think the thicker slices will
be more moist also.
