And my first ever Xmas dinner

Best turkey I have ever made! It is so moist and juicy, you won't make it any other way. Well worth the effort. Happy eating!

I made this turkey this year for Thanksgiving and it turned out perfect!! It was a huge hit! my new go to turkey recipe.

Nov 2011-Turkey was a huge hit! So juicy and melted in your mouth. Directions were a tad confusing, but easy enough to work around. We will definitely be making this next year. Nov 2012--Looking forward to making this turkey this year. Kids have been talking about it now for a month! Still the best turkey I've ever had!

Best turkey I've ever cooked. Very moist and flavorful.

Tasted great made some little changes but that is a good base to start

Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was the best turkey I have ever made!!!! Was a hit!

One word: Excellent, but two suggestions (to add to your recipe) 1). Serving instruction - the veggies stuffed in the bird are awesome - problem was we didn't take these out until after eating 2) next day options - made an incredible soup, but would love to hear other options

I used this recipe to try my 1st turkey this year. Complete success. I did a 20 pound turkey n everyone loved it. Very tasty n juicy!

Well I started the turkey 24 hour soaked in seasoning added some Spanish style to the prep now we will see the drama continues. Stay tune with my second report. Oh! I forgot to mention this is my 1st tturkey

I never really cared for eating turkey because the white meat always seemed dry. So I never roast a turkey in my entire life for the fear of how it would turn out. Well I never have to fear again. I took a chance and prepared this turkey recipe for a large celebration of about one hundred people and the turkey turned out AWESOME! I was the rave of the party. I soaked them for 8 hours and thought I might have over cooked them but it did not seem to matter. Everyone was amazed of how tender and tasty the meat tasted. I saw people wrapping and taking home the scraps of turkey that was left. I'm so proud of myself. No one knew who baked those turkeys ( I made two large turkeys) and I listened to the reactions as I watched everyone ate. I can't wait to make my turkeys for the holiday... I now know it's going to be a hit.

AMAZING RECIPE!!! This was my first turkey and my party went from 2 guest to 14 and this turkey recipe made it a hit!!! So juicy and flavorfull. Thank you so much

I made my first turkey for Thanksgiving last year using the brine from this recipe. The turkey was a success! Everyone loved it; we literally at ALL the turkey. There was only thanksgiving sides for people to take home as leftovers. No turkey sandwiches to make for the days to come.

That was my first try with turkey, and a success i think, even my 3 years old did like it. Thanks! :-)

I made this for my first Christmas dinner, and everyone loved it! I soaked it in the brine for about 8hrs and it turned out very flavorful and moist! Now that the holidays are over and Ive had a break from Turkey, Im thinking of making it again this weekend! Thanks for such a great recipe!!!

You made me the christmas hero with this dish! Turkey was so moist and came out just perfect.

I didn't even soak it for as long as it said, and it came out terrific!!! Moist with orangy hint and tons of complements ;)

This was my very first turkey. It was great, could have been slightly more juicy. It had a savory seasoned flavor.

Loved it best turkey I've ever had. Couldn't wait for it to hit the table I just kept eating it.

I made this as my first turkey ever and it was delicious!! So moist!!
