As everyone else has said: Best. Turkey. Ever. Take the time and make it. You will never go back!
I do this every year. Our guests rave about how juicy this turkey is.
i do this every year and it is so good. Make sure to rinse the turkey otherwise it will be too salty from the brine...
This recipe was very simple, and all of our guests raved about the turkey. The gravy was the fantastic, though I used veggie broth rather than chicken broth. I will definitely use this recipe again.
