I've been trying to figure out how to rate this since I made it two weeks ago. There is nothing bad about this recipe (the turkey tasted great), but I also didn't find anything spectacular about it. My dad makes roasted turkey by just sticking it in the oven and to me it tastes just as good. This is a good recipe, I'm just not sure if I would use it again.

Excellent!! I added a 1 tbs of each of these seasonings like basil, oregano, thyme, minced onion, lemon zest and savory since I didn't have Italian seasonings. I also cooked it breast side down and flipped it breast side up the last 45 min or so.(this is how I roast my chickens) Thanks for such a great recipe. The leftovers were just as good!! Melt in your mouth YUMMY!

I used fresh herbs mixing it with olive oil and putting both under the skin and basting on top. I also stuffed it using fresh herbs in the stuff (Awesome Sausage, Apple, & Cranberry Stuffing). It was the most favorful turkey I've eaten. I did spend some time removing the excess fat both under the skin and inside the cavity. I was surprised how much the 20lb bird had. The 1/4 inch water at the bottom of the roasting pan kept it quite moist and make for lots of gravy. Can't wait to taste the soup I'm making with the bones and skin. The meat seems even more flavorful as leftovers. Glad I cooked a large turkey!

I have never received so many compliments on my turkey before making this extreemly easy recipe. Not only was it tasty but soooo juicy. I made some minor changes, added onion and fresh rosemary to the cavity of the turkey and instead of water I made a chicken bouillion and basted every half hour. When the turkey was done I carved it right out of the oven and placed it on a platter, and covered the turkey with the turkey juices which made it sooo moist!!! I have requests to make it for new years dinner!!

I have been using this recipe for 4 years now...It makes the best turkey ever. I have changed just a bit and chop the fresh herbs and marinate them in the olive oil with some kosher salt(about 1 tbs) overnight then use that as the rub under and on top of the skin.....ITS THE BEST

I cooked this recipe and added some of the variations from other reviewers such as: using a Rosemary Brine Recipe and brining the turkey night before. I also cooked the turkey upside down. I was leary of this but with the wonderful reviews by doing this; I thought I would give it a try. I read to add butter under the skin, I did this sparingly, next time I would add more butter... very generously. Even though the turkey turned out wonderful. Many compliments came from this. I highly recommend using this for any dinner!

I had not cooked a turkey in 11 years. I was given this recipe from a friend who we were having Thanksgiving with and it was a huge hit. So good that we are doing again for Christmas. Thanks for sharing!!!!

This was my first time ever making a turkey and it was a success! Everyone RAVED about it. I brined the turkey overnight using others' suggestion (1 c OJ, 1 c lemon juice, and for every gallon of cold water needed to cover the bird, add 1 c brown sugar and 1 c kosher salt...I threw in a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme). After removing the turkey from the brine, I made sure to pat it dry. I also added about 1/4 cup melted butter to the olive oil mix. I threw in 1 onion (quartered) and 1 orange (also quartered) into the cavity while it cooked. When the turkey was done, I stuffed it with the Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry stuffing from the website. DELICIOUS!

I made this for my family's Thanksgiving dinner, and for a school banquet. Both times I got nothing but compliments! The rosemary is heavenly, but not overpowering. Even the leftover turkey sandwiches were ate plain.... no mayo needed, because the turkey was still moist, and so flavorful. This will be the ONLY way to make roasted turkey in our family. I can't wait to try it on roasted chicken too.

This was my first attempt at making a turkey, and it turned out pretty well, though I didn't feel that I could taste any of the herbs that I put into it. The turkey was also kindof dry, but my husband says thats how all turkey is.
