I use this recipe over and over again. I make dinner rolls and sandwich bread with an egg wash that my husband loves. I also use half wheat flour and make bread in a bread pan with a butter wash. This recipe makes me glad all over again that I kept my bread machine (and bought a second one!)

This was my first holiday bird and it turned out GREAT!! I substituted orange zest for the lemon because I was afraid my traditionally-minded in-laws would freak. The resulting broth after roasting was so flavorful that I had a hard time not slurping it all before making a gravy. Again deferring to the in-laws, I used regular butter to make the gravy with the broth, reserving the maple/citrus/spice infused butter for dinner where we used it on our rolls. My family FLIPPED. The turkey was moist and flavorful, the gravy was delectable, and the butter and rolls were like dessert. I will make this recipe again and again.
