This recipe was great. I had never roasted a turkey in my life and everyone raved about it on Christmas Eve. The photograph is mine - so you can see it turned out great. Moist too - yummy!

I used this Turkey recipe for Christmas this past year. It turned out to be a huge hit. The herbs give this such a wonderful flavor and it looks great too. I cooked my turkey in an oven bag and it worked fine with this recipe.

I have made this turkey 4 years in a row. My husband and I only made a few changes. First, we cover for 2 hours then cook uncovered the last 2. We also double the ingredients and place under the skin, on top and in the cavity. This adds a nice rosemary flavor to the stuffing.

Absolutely wonderful bird. The flavor is perfect! It made for some very, very happy Turkey sandwiches too.

Welcome to my new turkey recipe! This is it, I think, for the rest of my life. It's so fresh, and makes GREAT gravy. One added thing I always do....use carrots and leeks instead of a rack for the turkey - then, when you go to make the gravy, make sure you push the carrots and leeks through a sieve to add all that goodness into the pot. It's really the best possible gravy you could ever have!

We bought a fresh turkey and used this rub - only I used 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary and 1 tablespoon of dried basil and cut the garlic to 2 Tablespoons. we also stuffed the turkey with sausage and sage stuffing. It was the best turkey we have ever had.

this was my first attempt at roasting a turkey, and I was really happy with how easy it was. the garlic and herbs made the turkey flavorful and made the house smell nice too.

Good, but I thought the seasonings would have given the turkey more flavor than they did.

Very tasty and a nice change from the 'traditional' bird. I wanted a turkey recipe that didn't scream Thanksgiving and this was it. The skin was quite easy to separate from the breast and the rosemary and garlic made the whole house smell wonderful. I also put a quartered onion and extra sprigs of rosemary in the cavity. Covered loosely with foil for the first 2 hours to keep it from getting too brown/burned.

I love this recipe, i have used it for a few years now and still love it. To keep it extra moist and half the cooking time i place the already seasoned turkey in an oven roasting bag and seal it with the twist tie thingy. MMMM

Best Thanksgiving turkey I've had in a long time! This is a great seasoning. It would probably work well on roasted chicken as well.

I made this for Thanksgiving-and my first turkey. It came out great. I roasted it in an oven bag for 3 hours (16 lb bird) and the meat was just falling off the bone. Delicious!
