This is the very first turkey I have made by myself and it turned out so flavorful and moist, juicy, and tender. Will make this recipe again!

Followed the recipe and it was great. The skin on the breast was very close to burning, but that was my own fault. Really excellent flavor in the meat. I highly recommend this recipe if you like these flavors.

I would give this 5 stars but the gravy was too sweet for my taste and my guest. It sucked because we were all looking forward to mashed potatoes with savory gravy but it was more thickened maple syrup. I will make the turkey like this again but will opt out the gravy.

This came out awesome it was my first thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it I took another viewers advice and used a baking bag the turkey was a great golden brown I cooked it with out stuffing to cut back on the baking time but added a lemon cut in half inside to keep it moist this it also added to the flavor I would defiantly make this again I was great for my first turkey

I've make this recipe a couple years in a row now and every year it gets better and better. You have to make the gravy also. I totally completes the dish.

Last year was my first time cooking for thanksgiving and I wanted to try something different since my familys turkey always seemed a little dry....boy was everyone impressed this year. We loved this recipe and the gravy was phenomenal! I'm so happy I took a chance and tried this recipe. This is going to be our classic thanksgiving turkey from now on. Thanks for sharing!

excellent. Well worth the effort for a nice moist and mellow flavor. A great switch from the usual boring bland bird.

I tired this recipe for Thanksgiving this year..and it was WONDERFUL. I changed it a bit because I make turkey breast instead of a whole turkey. I use the baste to make gravy and to add to my stuffing. My family loved it so much we had the same for Christmas. This will be used many times in my kitchen!

To start with this is my first review. I have been using recipes from this site for years and finally found one I truly had to comment on. My cooking experience is minimal, I'm just past using measuring cups for everything. This Turkey was outstanding I didn't make the gravy but followed the Turkey recipe to the T, the only change I made was to brine the Turkey the night before. This is definitely a keeper

Simply amazing recipe! Instead of using the fresh marjoram and thyme, I used poultry seasoning and it worked fine. For the gravy, I tweaked it to have more like 4 cups and used only about 2 tbsp of the maple butter mix so it wasn't too sweet. I added some poultry seasoning to the gravy instead of the bay leaf and brandy. It got rave reviews in my household and the turkey cam out perfectly moist and flavorful. It's going to be a new holiday tradition!

This always turns out wonderfully. I don't know that the turkey itself picks up a lot of the maple flavor, but the resulting gravy is wonderful... and I don't typically eat gravy.

I made this for my family when they came out for Thanksgiving. It was good. I would suggest making the apple butter a day or two ahead of the big turkey day. It will give it more time to "set". Otherwise very good recipe. Moist and delicious!!
