I've been cooking turkey for over 30 years and this was the best recipe ever! Canadian Thanksgiving and with some family home we all enjoyed it so much. It turns out so moist, it melts in your mouth. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I made this turkey last year for Thanksgiving and everyone RAVED about it. Everyone said it was the most moist and flavorful turkey they had ever had !!

This recipe was so easy to follow, and turned out awesome! I used a butter ball turkey and put it in the oven for about 4 hours on 350 degrees F. I used more butter than the recipe asked for and I used chicken broth instead of water. The turkey I had was 8 kg. Thanks so much for a great recipe, the turkey was gone in minutes!

I am trying to omit butter, but saw this recipe and had two turkey thighs in the refrigerator. I knew they could be dry if not cooked properly, so put them in a casserole dish, poured homemade chicken broth over them, sprinkled liberally with fake butter powder, the minced dried onion, some Emeril's seasoning and a handful of fresh parsley. Baked for 1 hour 1/2 and it was absolutely devine. Very moist and flavorful. I may be dieting, but I don't feel deprived. Will use this again, even for chicken.

I never cook, but we had a turkey in the freezer and well... I had my entire family over just because. I added the carrots, celery and apple into the cavity and as a base from the other suggestions. Everything else I followed. Unfortunetly, 5 hours was not enough time. I cooked it at 350 for 5 hours, then turned up the heat to 425 for 2 more hours.My bird was 20lbs. I was worried it would dry out with the higher temp, but I had 18 people to feed. It was perfect!! I have now been designated the new turkey maker!! (and everyone always picks on me for my lack of culinary skill) Make sure you have enough time though.

Mmmmm... I'm from Michigan, and this is a great recipe for Turkey. So easy! It was my first time making a whole turkey, and it turned out delicious. Thanks!

I cooked my first turkey ever using this recipe and it turned out wonderfully. It was really moist and we loved it.

I combined the butter and dried seasonings together and stuffed into the pockets. Put it in a roasting pan and placed that in the bbq pit, it only took 3 hrs for a 16 lb turkey to cook. It came out juicy and delicious.

Amazing!!! My first turkey and it rocked!! I used rosemary instead of the parsley, chicken broth instead of water, and used a 7 pound turkey (with adjusted ingredients). The best turkey I EVER had!! Thanks!!

Absolutely perfect. Suppose you can season to taste...but the trick with the butter will make the breast as moist as it can be. Rave reviews from everyone that ate it.

Most moist whole turkey I have ever cooked. Everyone raved about how tasty and moist it was. This will be my holiday turkey recipe from now on. Thanks Robin

We made this for Christmas and it was amazing!

I followed the instructions exactly. I feel all the water made the turkey taste almost boiled. It was juicy and the meat just fell off the bones, but not much flavor.

best turkey ever! so moist. subsitute water for the broth.

this was my first attempt at christmas dinner and I have to say my turkey was fantastic!!! thanks so much for sharing! happy holidays

This turkey came out pretty good. My only complaint was mine was finished cooking in only 3 hours (and it was stuffed). I ended up taking it out of the oven, and putting it back in later. Otherwise it came out pretty good.

Very yummy and moist. I followed the recipes exactly, and my turkey came out fantastic! Thanks!
