This was the first turkey I had ever made it and came out PERFECT! My fiance is still talking about how tender and flavorful it was! I did let it cook a little longer though, more like 4 hours. Definitely will make this again! Thanks for sharing it!

I followed the directions to the letter and it was awesome! We served this on Christmas Eve and everyone commented on the great taste. You can not taste the champagne at all, which I was concerned about. So easy, it just didn't seem right! (Be sure to coat your oven bag in flour first.)

I based my turky off this recipe, and had the best most moist turkey ever. Big hit at Christmas.

We made this for our first Christmas Eve dinner and it was fabulous! I've always been a little intimidated by the thought of cooking a turkey, but not anymore.

This was my wifes and mine first thanksgiving turkey that we made ourselves since I am stationed in Korea. We have a few friends over and it was awesome. We did not have to carve the turkey just poked it with a fork and it fell apart. Here it is Christmas day and we are making it again. simply great. The Porters

A totally yummy recipe even though I overcooked the turkey--make sure you check the bird before the time in the recipe to avoid overcooking!

The turkey was very moist and tasty. Be sure to use dry champagne or if you want to use the juice for gravy it'll taste really sweet.

Tried this turkey last Thanksgiving and decided not to do it again this year. It was ok. I think the "ooh" factor was better than the actual taste of the turkey. And I couldn't make tasty gravy with the drippings.

I made this for my first Thanksgiving dinner, and it turned out awsome!!!! It was so easy to make! The meat just fell off the bone and it was very juicy! I will make it for years to come!

Great recipe just as written, I really am not a big turkey fan, and this certainly changed my mind after almost 60 years. I did brine the turkey first for 4 hours and washed it thoughly of the brine solution and dried it well, only eliminated the apple and used a bottle of Asti Spumante instead of champagne. Had an antique covered roasting pan,though I wish I had a cooking bag and it came out perfect. It was a 12 lb. bird and was fall off the bone in under 2 hours. Will stick with this recipe forever! Thanks so much.

This turkey was the best I've ever made or tasted! All my relatives raved about it. I cooked a 22-lb turkey in a cooking bag on a rack in my electric roaster to free up my oven for side dishes, and it took 4 hours at 325 degrees. (I had intended to cook it longer at a lower temp, but my alarm didn't go off!) I used the butter as suggested (used a whole stick in patties under the skin since it was such a large bird), and sprinkled on some Lowery's seasoning salt. I also omitted the champagne and put 2 C chicken broth in the bottom of the bag instead. Couldn't taste any apple flavor from the apples inside, but maybe they helped keep it moist. Roasting it upside down is the key!! Thanks for the tip! The leftover breast meat on sandwiches the next day just melted in your mouth! Not a tad dry! This is my new turkey recipe!

It was great as my first turkey. Except the oven bag stuck to breast when I took it out so no skin. Bummer, because skin is the best part of the turkey.

EXCELLENT! I used a PEAR/APPLE sparkling drink which came in a bottle like champane but non-alcholic. It was GREAT.
