The turkey came out extremely moist and flavorful. Ironically the turkey was difficult to carve due to the fact the meat was falling off the bone as the knife touched it. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. I personally am not a big fan of bacon, but the turkey under the bacon was delicious and those who liked bacon asked for more.

Yummy! I used this recipe last Thanksgiving and it was so good. My family was happy. I will only add that it seemed as though there was much more liquid and my pan didn't hold it all. I had a mess in the oven from it. Be sure to use a roasting pan or something very deep.

This turned out great- the meat nearly fell off the bone, and this is only my second turkey ever to make. I made it as written, except I accidentally forgot the celery. I had to make my own Soul Food seasoning (via the help of another member)using: 2 T ground pepper, 2 T garlic powder, 2 T onion powder, 2 T chili powder, 1 t dried parsley, 1 T paprika, 1 T salt, 1 t ground thyme, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, and 1 t celery seed. I took the suggestion of another review and thickened the juices with a bit of flour, some sour cream, and a generous amount of black pepper to make a really good gravy. My dad said this turkey was better than his mom's, and that's huge.

Wow! This was the best turkey I've ever tasted. It was a huge hit( even better than my mom's). There was nothing left but bones and celery.It was so tender and juicy.It was also very easy!! The only thingI did was add garlic.

The bacon and apples made this recipe. The turkey was moist and the gravy was amazing.

Awesome turkey! Guess you can't go wrong with bacon, lol. Gravy from the dripping comes out fantastic, too. The fruit juices along with the bacon drippings give it a really great flavor.

I wanted to have a juicy turkey this year, because every other year its so dry. I ran across this recipe and gave it a try. The turkey was so good, tender and juicy. Everybody loved it and said it was this best ever. We're gonna start doing this every year.

All the flavor went into the meat and made it taste, gamey. It was very tender, but I was a bit disappointed that it fell apart when we tried to take it out of the bag. Also, the bacon was very dark, not burnt, but I would watch out for that next time. My mom was surprised that it turned out so crispy, the turkey I mean. Good recipe overall.

Over the years, we have cooked about 32 Thanksgiving dinners. I tried this recipe 2006, and it is the very best recipe by far. The turkey was mild and very juicy. Maybe it helped that we wrapped the turkey in aluminum foil. We removed it the last 50 minutes to get it brown and crispy. It was DELICIOUS !
