Easy and delicious! Turkey came out perfect...but so tender it was tough to flip over without falling apart.

Easy and fast. Roasted a 14 pound turkey on Christmas Eve but I added one chopped celery stalk, cored granny smith apple and chopped onion into the cavity along with the butter. Turkey turned out very tender and the taste was excellent. Thank you for sharing this recipe I will use it again for the holidays!

What had first drawn me to this recipe two years ago was the very few ingredients that the turkey required. I had never prepared a turkey before and had little on hand to do so. I have since prepared this turkey recipe 4 times and always get RAVE reviews on how juicy the turkey is.

This was the first time I ever roasted a turkey and it turned out perfectly thanks to this upside-down recipe! I actually marinated the turkey inside and out the day before with an homemade olive oil, garlic, and herbs marinade. The day of, I put the slices of butter under the skin. While the turkey roasted, I basted it with the juices that ran back into the pan and wow!! This turkey was so moist and perfect and everyone couldn't agree more!

This turned out quite well. I also put it in a cooking bag to keep it even moister as we are at a high altitude (6,000 ft.) and things dry out very quickly. Very good will use this recipe again.

I used this recipe to make my very first turkey for Thanksgiving. Never making a turkey before, I found this recipe very easy. I used apple juice instead of the water and rubbed the entire outside of the turkey with the butter. The turkey came out so juicy and picture perfect!!! My future in-laws were so impressed. I've never had a turkey that was so good before. This is the only way to do a turkey!!!

Who says you can't stuff an upside down turkey? Ours was twenty one pounds, flipped and then stuffed. I'm only rating this four stars due to the fact that there weren't any seasonings listed. However, the bird was moist, juicey and delicious. Thanks Lou!

My 1st turkey was a hit! I added dried sage, and salt & pepper to the butter then rubbed it under & over the skin. I basted every 45min, and flipped it over for the last 45min. Everyone was pleasantly surprised!

This is almost exactly how my grandmother used to do her turkeys (stuffing has a better texture when cooked separately, anyway!)- the upside-down technique works well with all other poultry, too.

This was super. The only thing I changed was to cook in a cooking bag, salt & pepper inside and outside of turkey and stuff butter in between skin and meat.

This is the way I make a turkey! Such a simple technique, but the results are extroidinary! Try this, you won't be disappointed! I am so glad I found this recipe, it turned me, Turkey Maker Novice, into Turkey Maker Master (ok, maybe I won't be thanking you at Thanksgiving when this particular job is given to me, but my family will!)

My mom usually makes the turkey but this year I was so I chose this recipe, and was I happy I did. I have never tasted such a moist turkey! I even made a gravy with the left over sauce after I strained it and got rid of the fat. GREAT recipe! :)

We BBQ'd our turkey upside down this Thanksgiving for the first time. We usally just BBQ it the "regular" way. The turkey was so tender it almost fell apart. It was wonderful! We will never cook turkey any other way again. Only change I did was I made up some Herb Butter. I mixed chopped fresh sage, rosemary and tyme and garlic with melted butter the night before. I then separated the skin and stuffed the butter between the meat and skin. I put fresh sprigs of the Herbs in the cavity with butter. Rubbed the turkey with olive oil. And on the grill he went. Upside down. I will make this again! Thanks!

This was my first turkey. It turned out great!! So juicy and tender! I usd aple juice instead of water, and I made a rub of 1 stick melted butter, salt, pepper, rubbed sage, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. I also stuck little pices of butter between the breast and the skin. It was delicious. My husband cant get enough of it.
