Made with only a full turkey breast. Only had salted butter and it really does make the veggies and gravy too salty if you brine. The turkey breast was very moist. I had no problem flipping it and it didn't fall apart. I'm pretty sure I used way too much salt too, about 3/4 cup for only a 4 pound breast. Read reviews afterward and might consider adding sugar of some sort to the brine. This was my first experience doing a brine and I'm now a big fan. I used a pound of carrots and next time I will use more. Aside from the turkey and the delicious gravy (although a bit salty but with undersalted mashed potatoes it worked out fine) the carrots were also big stars of the meal.

I used this recipe to cook my first turkey. It turned out amazing! It was so juicy and tasty, it was literally falling from the bone! The vegetables were delicious too.

For the amount of work that went into this turkey, it was just "ok". Might look for easier recipes next time.

This recipe was excellent!! My first turkey ever, and I wasn't disappointed. I added apple cider vinegar, brown and white sugar to the brine, and I added some fuji apples to the veggie mix. I used a turkey with a pop-up timer, rested it for 45 minutes, and it was juicy and wonderful. The veggies came out slightly tart and tangy. I made a gravy by heating 2 Tablespoons of flour with 2 Tablespoons of fat (from the drippings) in a saucepan. I drained the rest of the fat from the drippings and added water to make 2 cups of liquid. I added that to the fat/flour mixture and boiled while stirring for about 10 minutes or so. It was the best gravy I've ever had. I can't wait to impress guests with this recipe!
