This recipe made a flavorful, moist turkey. My 12.5 lb turkey cooked at 325 faster than the recipe. It was done in 2.5 hours.
Read MoreI cooked my first turkey last year at Thanksgiving and used this recipe. It was delicious! The meat was very tender and was very flavorful. I am looking forward to cooking it again this year!!
Read MoreI have made this recipe for years. I generally make a larger turkey, so I follow the cooking time listed on the turkey's label. (I've even cooked the turkey on my gas grill outside). This recipe is delicious, creating a moist bird with no added fat. It's been a hit for years. I use more chicken broth in the pan, and I add celery to the apples and onion in the bird. I then make turkey soup out of the carcass.
Read MoreThis turkey was fantastic! I don't cook turkey all that often, so I wanted to follow a recipe. I will definitely make this one again. The apple butter sauce under the skin is very flavourful. I was a little worried about the gravy... it's very pale. Don't worry though, it tastes great! The only downside was that the turkey took 5 hours to cook instead of the 3 hours posted in the recipe.
Read MoreBeen making this turkey for ten years. A perfect bird! The last three years, I've been cooking on a Big Green Egg, which has only made it better. Brined it beginning last year in the apple cider brine and even better still. Even without the smoker/slow-cooker or the brine, this is a phenomenal recipe. Frozen or fresh, high-end free-range/organic bird or mass-market frozen, it's been perfect every time.
Read MoreFamily favorite for over 12 years. Since the first time I made this recipe no other has come close.
