This turkey is delicious! I was too lazy to loosen the skin, so I just rubbed the oil/herb mixture all over the bird. After it had browned nicely, I put a foil tent over the breast. The flavor was amazing, and the meat was very moist! I also used a brine recipe that is in another review (the one with the orange juice, peppercorns, etc.) and I think it definitely added to the overall flavor. Make this turkey! It's so easy and tasty.

Let me start by saying that my family does not like turkey. They loved this one. I only used the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper and baked it in an oven bag. it was the most flavorful and moist turkey we ever had. My husband even requested it for next year already and he is major anti- turkey!

I did this as my first attempt at a whole bird in 2008 and it was absolutely perfect. Aside from adding a foil tent I used this recipe straight up. Very easy to prep. The outcome was a delicious, moist turkey that wasn't overpowered by the seasoning.

The rosemary is a wonderful herb to use like this. Unlike the one review that I read that said it was overpowering,I disagree.I did though omit the Italian seasonig,and just used rosemary,basil & garlic. I did not put the herbs in oil either & just made a dry rub..then rubbed the turkey well with the oil & sprinkled some salt in & on the turkey .

As many people here have done, make minor adjustments to spices and herbs to suit your taste. I also use butter and oil. The key to happiness for me, esp with a turkey in this size range, is to use a roasting bag. I'm a traditionalist, but now that I've tried a bag will never go back to pan. Yes, the turkey will get brown!

This one is a must for your first turkey! Can't go wrong with this recipe and you'll WOW everyone... I did. (Thank you, Star) Try one of the turkey brine recipes to marinate the day before for that extra-tederness. I'll be making this again this year!

Wonderful! I added fresh lemon thyme to the fresh herb mix and used half butter half oil. I basted with a mix of chicken stock and melted butter. I put some onions and chicken stock in bottom of roaster, not water. I covered for all but last hour to brown the bird. I used the drippings for gravy and added a tablespoon of dry port to gravy and it was great.

It was very good! I guess I am just a little "don't mess with perfection" of the traditional roast turkey dinner. I would love to try this recipe w/chicken!

The rosemary mixture flavors the turkey perfectly and makes an excellent gravy. Turkey comes out very moist. This was my first attempt at making a turkey and it was wonderful.

Excellent flavour. I roasted it breast down for the first two hours, then flipped it for the last few. Very moist and flavorful bird! I used rosemary, basil, sea salt and pepper. I will do this every time I make a turkey now. I usually brine my chickens, but this would probably be a shortcut and very tasty as well.

Great bird. Made 1 change and 2 additions. Instead of 3/4 cups of oil. Change = 1/2 cup softened butter & 1/4 cup oil mixture to the herbs. Additions = added 6 uncooked strips of bacon to the top the bird before putting it in the oven. This method self-bastes the bird and also adds some GREAT flavor to the drippings for gravy. Chopped all of the following in quarters and added to the cavity of the turkey. 1 celery stalk. 1 whole carrot, 1 med onion, 1 small apple, 1 bunch of fresh parsely. Put a piece of tin foil over the cavity to keep the items from coming out. The combination of the additions along with the herbs and butter made for a MOIST bird and great gravy drippings.

About 5 years ago I was hosting my 1st Thanksgiving dinner. I had never cooke a turkey before so I was worried. I did a search on here and found this recipe. It turned out wonderful and so moist. I never cook a turkey anyother way. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love this recipe! I have made it several times since I found it and it has always been a hit. I do rub the turkey with spray butter. After I pull the skin away to rub it good with spray butter and then rub it with the mixture. Just to make it more tender. Other then that this recipe is perfect. You may not even want to do that. I just like the extra buttery flavor. I also apply more butter and more mixture over the turkey every 30 min. until the turkey is done. Just to make srue it stays tender. Thanks so much for this recipe!
