I used this recipe for my first ever turkey, and it turned out beautiful! Golden brown, juicy and moist. It was a big hit, everyone was super impressed. I used the suggestion of placing it on a rack, which really helped keep the bottom from becomming soggy. Easiest and tastiest turkey ever. I'll be using this one for christmas as well.

This is the most perfect way to roast a turkey. The key is the basting - as often as every 30 minutes. Read all these reviews and got a good chuckle as I'm unsure how one can forget to remove giblets before stuffing, lol, but I guess it does happen!

Delicious! It was my first attempt at cooking a turkey without my mother and grandmother around and I was nervous. I cooked it for Thanksgiving in New Zealand where I now live and I was feeling the pressure of living up to all the kiwi's expectations of Thanksgiving! It was moist and beyond my expectations.

I'm pretty sure I did something wrong! Though I don't know how! Haha. The breasts were great & perfect. They had so much moisture & flavor, but the legs weren't even done. We had to throw them away. I barely had enough for my guests. I guess I'll try again. Maybe I missed something because I was so busy making everything else too.

It's true ~ perfect turkey. You can use chicken broth as it is more readily available. And the gravy, made from the drippings and chicken broth has more flavor than turkey stock. Thanks for sharing

It was truly unbelievable how well this turned out. I made a butter rub with poultry seasoning and fresh herbs to spread under the skin while it roasted and the flavor was outstanding.

It doesn't get any easier then this recipe. I had a golden and flavorful (I used the Simple Chicken Brine recipe) turkey for Christmas dinner. Followed all the directions as stated except for removing the foil at 2.5 hours. I don't think I did that until the last 30 minutes. The turkey seemed to just brown under the cover from the basting every 30 mins alone.

When we finally ate, the turkey was wonderful...juicy and delicious BUT all the moisture from it cooking almost did my oven in first! Must admit I was a bit confused about the foil tent and basting...would have thought the tent would eliminate the need for basting...anyway after one or two tries, I just laid the foil on top of the bird rather than tucking it over the pan entirely and let it take care of itself. Two and a half hours into cooking, I removed it and basted every half hour until, almost done, my oven started beeping incessantly as if the timer was going off. Only problem was I wasn't using the timer! Having never had a problem before, I wasn't sure what to do when faced with an F2 message blinking on the touchpad/screen. Cancel seemed the logical option so I tried that first followed by every button I could find...all to no avail. Although the turkey was almost cooked, my sides in the lower oven still had a ways to go, so simply leaving the ovens off entirely wasn't a great option. (Thoughts of finishing up on the barbeque ensued.) As a last resort, my husband resorted to turning off the circuit breaker entirely which finally quieted things...until switched back on, I tried to restart everything only to be greeted by a blinking/beeping F4 "message"! Muttering a few choice letters of our own by then, we turned everything off again and left it off for 10-15 minutes. Fortunately that seemed to do the trick and we eventually were able to resume cooking. That

This recipe was great because it is basic, without any wierd extras (i.e. mushrooms, ginger, etc.). Thank you, it is easy for 1st time turkey attempts, and mine turned out perfect!
