WOW! Made this for Thanksgiving, and I will DEFINATLY make this again! I had many many compliments on the turkey, there was hardly any left, my husband was disapointed! Made mostly as is, but added more rosemary (and put a couple sprigs inside of the bird with some lemon quarters) and used 2x the amount of olive oil.

I brined my turkey last year because everyone said I had to. It was good, but I wasn't blown away. This year I was cooking for my dad who can only have very minimal amounts of salt. I looked around and decided to try this recipe. I didn't have a whole turkey, so I ended up just brushing this mixture over a 10 lb roast. I also covered it in foil. This was by far the best turkey I've had in my life. It was so moist and delicious without being overly oily. I don't think I'll bother brining again.

Tasted great! Used turkey cooking bags because it's easy and the flavors came thru. Made great gravy out of juice too!

Yum! Used all the fresh herbs ~ sage, rosemary & thyme. Cut up a onion, some celery stalk, a carrot and wedged a fresh lemon. Put all that on the inside cavity and on the bottom. The white meat had super flavor and was so moist. Family declared this the best turkey I have every made! Lovely!

so amazing!!! i brined my turkey for two days with the "out of this world brine" recipe on this site, then used this to roast my turkey in an oven bag with chicken broth at the bottom instead of water...everyone loved it and the ever so hard to please Inlaws said it was the best turkey theyd ever had!

This was only the second time I have ever made Turkey and this came out just perfect! It was flavorful, moist with crispy skin. My toughest critics all gave it great reviews. The only change I made was stuffing the cavity of the bird with 1 1/2 lemons, fresh rosemary sprigs and some unpeeled garlic cloves. These also were put on the plate for beautiful presentation. Thanks for sharing.

I use fresh thyme and sage instead of basil. I put the mixture on/in the turkey the night before. On the day of, I stuff the turkey with quartered onions, a few stalks of celery, and a few carrots. The best turkey ever!
