This is a great recipe. All my guests raved about the flavor and moistness of the turkey.

This is the best turkey I have ever made! I followed other readers' advice and threw a quartered onion, plus a couple cloves of chopped garlic inside the bird. Wow! what a difference. I've already been asked to make the turkey again because the leftovers disappeared so fast!

I cooked this in an electric roaster pan and had to take the grate out at the bottom to make it fit. I did put the butter under the skin as well as rubbed it on the outside. It didn't come out as beautifully brown as I hoped, but the taste was really good and it was really moist. I used a turkey from West Wind Farms and real butter and dried herbs. I cooked it 2 1/2 hours breast side down and basted it like crazy, every 20-30 minutes...

Tasted good but personally I was expecting a lot more flavor. It was incredibly juicy though. I tried to pull the drumstick off, but the bone just slid right out of the meat!

I can't even begin to say how proud I was over my first Thanksgiving turkey- This recipe helped make it happen! I also used 'Apple Turkey Brine' from Godiva Goddess- *If using the brine, wash turkey off & pat with paper towels before applying herb butter marinade; use light salt and pepper*

AWESOME! This bird roasted so perfectly with such tremendous flavor and was absolutely beautiful coming out of the oven. I am a firm believer in roasting turkeys and NOT using the bag and this recipe is so easy and so great you will see why you should give up those bags!
