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.

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.
