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.

Wow! My turkey turned out perfectly and I am a beginner. Basting every 1/2 hour made a big difference!

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!

This is a great simple recipe and just the foundation I was looking for this year. I always work a good amount of butter under the skin and over the skin. This year I mixed the butter with garlic and Italian herbs and since I was trying to simplify things this thanksgiving I used the herb mix you find in the squeeze tube in the vegetable section of the grocery store. Also brining is a must! I always brine and it makes the turkey juicy and delicious.

Keep an eye on the liquid in bottom of the pan that it doesn't completely evaporate. Caught mine in time just before it burned. Thankfully it made the best rich gravy ever. Great recipe.

My first turkey turned out perfect! Didn't stuff with stuffing - don't like my stuffing soggy from inside a bird - so I stuffed it with 2 whole onions and a couple celery sticks instead.

OMG!!! This year (2008) was my first time making Thanksgiving dinner ever and I have found my turkey recipe!! On the bottom of the roaster before placing the turkey into the roasting pan I layered the bottom with whole carrots, celery, and put a quarter of one onion in each corner of the pan. Gave the turkey a little more flavor along with the left over juice (which I only had to use the 2 cups for the entire time of roasting it!) and the veggies were nice and soft and had great flavor... a nice little side to go along with the turkey! My family RAVED about it and told me to make this from now on whenever it was my turn. I also recommend injecting the juice into the turkey every hour or so... made the meat very juice and moist... never had a turkey so moist!! Even the white meat didn't need gravy! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!!
