Reviews
My husband and I used this recipe to to make our very first turkeys for Thanksgiving, and they were a hit. The turkeys were extremely moist and had an excellent flavor. We made two; one we baked in a roster in the over, and the other we baked in an electric roaster. We accidently left the lid on the roster we put in the oven. When we discovered our error, we took the lid off, and allowed the turkey to brown. I have to say that was one moist turkey! The one in the electric roaster turned out very moist as well. Watch the cooking time, though, because the turkeys were done quite a bit ahead of schedule. We are no longer intimidated by the turkey!
Our whole family loved the turkey. Easy to make and very flavorful. Will use this reciped again.
Love the seasoning! The flavors blended very well, was easy to make and use! The drippings for gravy were yummy too!!!
