I used a fresh Butterball turkey & followed the recipe. The turkey was VERY moist & I especially liked the butter,salt & pepper rub. I stuffed the cavity with celery & onion. Next time I will leave out the bacon. My family was split on the bacon flavor to the breast. I found it overpowering. The gravy was delicious! VERY EASY TO MAKE.

Read MoreI have never had to bake the turkey before last Christmas. I made this recipe and it was amazing. The gravy is out of this world!! I recently made this turkey again for an early family Thanksgiving for my nephew who was home on military leave, and got the same amazing results. I increased the gravy ingredients by about a third because I have a large family, and it turned out great, with lots left over. This recipe is definitely our new family tradition!
