    This is by far the best tasting, most succulent turkey I've ever had and ever will have!! I've tried it with all different turkeys, but the best is either a fresh free range turkey or a Butterball fresh turkey. In addition, Wolfgang's gravy included in this receipe complements this turkey and is a must have as well. Our family loves this so much that my husband and I no longer have turkey once a year. We make this throughout the winter! Once you try this, you will never, ever eat turkey made any other way. A nice complement to this recipe is the pioneer woman, Ree Drummond's "Sweet Roasted Rosemary Acorn Squash." Unfortunately, web link could not be posted, but it can be searched on foodnetwork by typing in the title of Ree's recipe. Enjoy!

    I cannot agree more with ALL the reviews here: 1 best recipe hands down 2 first made it like 6 years ago and have made it ever since. Now, every Thanksgiving the only thing we have to decide are the all the sides and desserts. Oh, I am sure everyone can attest to this - never have left over turkey!!

    This is, hands down, the best turkey recipe I have EVER made or eaten.

    I will never ever search for another Turkey recipe. This recipe makes the most, succulent, flavorful, delicious turkey and is worth every extra minute it takes to prepare.
    Every time I have made this, my guests have told me it's the best turkey and gravy they have ever tasted. I hesitate to even share the recipe since it's THAT delicious!
    Make sure to make the gravy as well, it is also an OUTSTANDING gravy (the best I have personally ever tried. The extra ingredients are a little pricey (Madeira, Port but sooo worth it and really add a TON of flavor.

    Don't look any further, this turkey is DIVINE. You will not regret it. Your guests will rave! :

    I am not a turkey or gravy eater at all, I don't even like the texture, but... This recipe makes the most incredible turkey ever!!! The flavors of the turkey & gravy fall nothing short of my expectations from Wolfgang Puck. It is expensive but worth ever penny if you want a good turkey.

    I was watching Food Network back in 2004, and Mr. Puck was working this recipe on TV, I thought it sounded really good and used it for the first turkey that I cooked by myself, and it was and still is a success! This is by far the juiciest turkey that I've tried, not even my mother's roasted turkey was this juicy. On top of the brine, I inject a whole bottle of white wine, prepare extra compound butter and get it all over the turkey. I cannot wait to start brining and roasting my turkey!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

    Ive used this recipe many times. I added a twist to it by adding lemon, lime and orange zest to the compound butter and stuffed the bird with the lemon, apple, orange, and lime. It was the best turkey Ive ever had!

    The only thing I could say bad about it is the brine is expensive!

    Discovered this recipe about 6 years back it's become a cherished must do.
    And yes- cook the brine this time...unlike some less complex brines it's necessary to extract all the flavs.
    To further the texture sensations, I leave enough time to air dry the bird a day in advance. Makes the skin crispy which is a common complaint with the brining process.
    This recipe is so good it can make a non pre brined Butterballl taste like real turkey ;.
