I like to add seasonings inside the pocket fat as well and inside the cavity.

Wow, easy and great! And moist! Last year I made "Perfect Turkey" from this site, which required both brining and turning over during cooking. Don't bother with either! Make this much-easier and just-as-good turkey instead! The only changes I made were to put the turkey on a bed of onion, celery & carrot chunks, and to stuff a few pieces of the above plus a chopped apple into the cavity. None of these veggies are eaten, but they give the turkey and juices a great flavor. Don't use the cooking times in the recipe as my 20-lb bird took only 4 hours. (Also note that in ingredient list, "broth" is supposed to read "bouillon.")

I didn't used to love turkey, but now I do thanks to this awesome, easy to make recipe. I didn't change a thing and it came out perfect. My parents and brother's family say I'll be making the turkey from now on! With this recipe, I don't mind at all. Umm umm, tasty, tender, and golden, just the way turkey should be!

this is a very good recipe. I used this on turkey and chicken. I followed the recipe exactly except added a few sprinklings of garlic powder and baked in a cooking bag and took the meat off the bone before serving. I would absolutely recommend cutting back on the seasoning salt. The gravy was excellent just a little too salty. I thickened the pan juices with flour and on one occassion added a jar of store bought gravy to stretch it out.

This was my first time to ever cook a turkey and I have to say it was the best turkey I have ever eaten. I was so scared I was going to mess it up and it turned out so moist. I will use this recipe every time. I even made this in one of those tiny stoves.

Wow! Thanks for posting Robin! I'm so glad that I decided to try this procedure for roasting turkey! I used 1 Tbls. Better than Bouillon Turkey Base in lieu of the chicken 'broth' (assumed that Robin meant bouillon/base since it was only 3 Tbls.) and only used 2 cups water, but ended up with almost 1 quart of fabulously flavored stock when the liquid was poured off, strained and defatted! Easiest, tastiest gravy base ever! I also cut back on the butter, using only 4 Tbls. I used my oval roaster and simply put the lid on it instead of covering it with foil... the 14 lb. bird I made was done to perfection in 3 hours! Since my turkey was done quicker than I had figured, I didn't get that '45 minute window' to remove the foil to let the turkey brown. I ended up turning on the broiler and returning the bird to the oven, after pouring off the liquid, to add color to the skin.. @8 minutes worked great!

I made this for my first Thanksgiving turkey because all of the reviews assured me it was easy. Sure enough, the turkey was perfect and everyone raved about it. I made a 21 lb turkey and opted to use an oven bag like another reviewer suggested. I followed the recipe exactly except left out the water because I was using the oven bag. I cooked the turkey for 4 hrs 15 min and it was perfectly brown and juicy. I also used the top floating grease in the bag to make paste with flour and added the rest of the juice to make the gravy. It was the perfect consistency and soooo tasty. Thanks again for a first turkey success.

I made this recipe for a small Thanksgiving celebration using a 5 lb. turkey breast instead of a whole turkey. Also, I used fresh parsley instead of dried and cooked it for 2 hours and 15 minutes. I could not believe how moist and flavorful it came out! This is now my go-to recipe for turkey.

Discovered this recipe last year and have made it several times; always get raves. Wouldn't change a thing, it's always moist and flavorful. This recipe is so popular with family and friends, I cook this in the summer in the garage or out on the deck in the electric roaster

OK, I know everyone's written about this recipe, but I just have to say that we NEVER eat turkey. I made this for Christmas last year (I was in a "traditional" mode) It literally fell off the bone. It was incredible. We devoured it. NOTHING LEFT. Since then, we've made it several times. Each time - amazing results. I have referred many people to this recipe. It's worth it's weight in gold!

This is a really great recipe. Been using it for the last few years of turkey roasting. This year, I bought a turkey that came without the temperature indicator "popper" by mistake and I had to estimate the cooking time of my turkey. To be safe, I roasted the turkey for longer than the estimated duration for the turkey size and it still turned out nice and juicy!!

This was just o.k. 4+ cups of liquid in the bottom of the roasting pan seemed sort of odd. But then again, a baked turkey is almost foolproof with any recipe.
