78 Reviews of Roast Turkey

excellent easy recipe! I've always done practially the exact same thing, with one slight difference- I always roast my turkeys BREAST DOWN. It keeps the juices in the breast, where you want them anyway. & I turn the bird over for the last 45 minutes to an hour, so that it can turn a nice golden brown. My grandmother taught me that trick, & I have to say, I have NEVER had a dry bird! thanks grandma!

I used this recipe on Thanksgiving 2004. It made me look like a seasoned chef. I cooked the turkey in a roaster and it came out very tender and tasty. I will use this again and again. I also added three additional turkey legs to the roaster because everyone always seems to want a leg at my house. I buttered and seasoned the legs as I did the bird. Then, I half covered the legs with foil and put the open side down. They turned out just as good as the bird and everyone got a leg. Thanks for the recipe! I will use this one again and again.

If you're planning on roast turkey for dinner this Christmas Eve, DO try this recipe... You and your guests will gobble up white meat as juicy and tender as the dark, and the drippings make a killer gravy! You won't taste butter or any spices in particular, but an extremely flavorful bird that results simply from a perfect blend of ingredients. It's really the best we've made to date and I'm not even sure I'd venture off to try another. This one will no doubt make another appearance at our table next Thanksgiving and for many more after that. It's just that good! Alan sharing this incredible recipe is just one more reason to be thankful this year!

This is a five star turkey - no matter how you slice it. Easy to follow directions for an incredibly moist, beautifully browned, exceptionally flavorful turkey. I served this for my Thanksgiving dinner and I will use this recipe for all my holiday turkeys to come. Thanks, Alan for sharing this wonderful recipe with us on Zaar!

Just finished our Thanksgiving dinner and the turkey was wonderful. I substituted sage for the basil and I baked mine in a baking bag. Glad I bought a big bird this year... lots of leftovers!

Great seasoning blend!! As directed, we lathered our turkey breast in butter and rubbed seasonings all over and in between. We always cook our turkey in an oven baking bag ... that was the only change I made. Will use this recipe often as we occasionally bake a turkey breast throughout the year.

Outstanding technique for roasting a turkey. This year I bought the biggest bird I could at the cheapest price. Used your technique and it was tender and moist. Made a wonderful roux gravy out of the pan liquids...will use this method from now on. Thanks for sharing!
