This turkey was absolutely the best I have ever made or tasted! So easy to do, cooked in less time than usual and very little mess with the oven bag. I will always make this turkey when I cook Thanksgiving dinner again.

From someone who prefers her turkeys deep fried... this turkey is *incredible*! Very moist; doesn't taste like you're eating an oven-baked turkey.

This was our first turkey and it was very easy to make. It turned out very well. Everyone loved it. It was tender and tasty and juicy. We will use this recipe again.

I used this recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner this year. What a wonderful tasting turkey! So tender it just fell off the bones. Almost didn't need to carve it! Everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Very moist and tender. With a little tweaking this may very well be the world's best turkey. My family enjoyed it for Thanksgiving Day.

My 12 lb turkey was done in less than 3 hrs at 350 -- but it still turned out fine!

I only cook 1/2 of a turkey so used 1 apple and 1/2 bottle champagne. I put the champagne in the bag before adding the garlic powder & salt & pepper. It was done in 2-1/4 hrs (9 lb. turkey) and was falling off the bone. It was moist and tender. The juice made great gravy, too! For a simple and easy variation of the standard turkey, this is very good!

I thought this recipe was great! It was my first turkey ever and I was cooking for a crowd, and my turkey was super-moist and very good! Cooking in the roasting bag does make the turkey cook a little faster; I had a 23 lb turkey and at 350 F it was done in about 4-4.5 hours. I will definitely use this for years to come! The champagne did give it a nice flavor and made the meat moist and tender, too. Thank you!

I used (and modified) this recipe for my first turkey EVER for more than 32 people in my boyfriends family, and it came out PERFECT. I used sparkling cider instead of champagne, used 2 apples and one lemon. The lemon flavor infused the whole bird!

I have made this turkey for three years (this will be my fourth). It always falls off the bone. I don't really ever have to "carve" it. I never liked turkey. I like this turkey. With this recipe I discovered turkey doesn't have to be dry!

This Thanksgiving will be the 3rd year I've used this recipe - the last 2 years it has turned out PERFECT!! Since we usually have between 10 and 16 people for Thanksgiving, we use a turkey that is at least 25 lbs - even with the larger turkey you can't go wrong with this recipe! You do need to check it before the end of the cooking time listed, some ovens tend to cook faster than others (like mine!) so you want to make sure you don't over-cook it. And definitely make sure you flour your bag before putting the turkey in. The drippings make an awesome gravy and has been a HUGE hit, one of our guests hates gravy, but when I make this turkey and the subsequent gravy, he can't get enough! I'm looking forward to making this again this year, we're having more guests this year than the last 2, and they're looking forward to having this awesome turkey! :)

This was really just an average recipe. The turkey tasted plain and a little dry. Followed recipe to the "T".

I did not like to cook whole turkeys, but for Thanksgiving 2004 I tried the Worlds Best Turkey recipe and it was the best turkey I've every had. Family members were calling the next day for more. I did not have any left for turkey salad or turkey soup.

Definitely, the turkey was very delicious. It had a piquant taste. Quite unusual, but I was pleased. However, the turkey came a little dry. Probably the recipe requires some water adding while cooking.

I tried this recipe last thanksgiving, and the turkey came out perfect. I used white cooking wine and turkey was nice and juicy. It browned so perfectly that my family didnt believe I cooked it.
