    This was the first turkey that I have EVER cooked and it came out perfect. Everyone was raving about it so much that I actually thought they were lying to be nice. Even though the recipe calls for no stuffing, I went ahead and stuffed the bird with bread and sausage stuffing. Wonderful!

    Thanks, Alton!

    Tried the brine recipe- with a 20 lb bird. Quadrupled the Allspice and peppercorn amounts- increased the sugar and salt by about 25%- used 1/4 cup of Real smashed Ginger (couldn't find candied Ginger the rest was the same- put the bird in an insulated 5 gallon bucket cooler- and left it to soak for 17 hours. Took it out - rinsed- and roasted at 475 degrees with te bird dried- coated with olive oil and salt and pepper and garlic powder- for 2 hours.
    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I am now the official Turkey Roast master voted by my family- for all Turkey occasions- from here on out. Thanks Alton. (check into the roasting unstuffed at higher temps- wonderful skin- faster cooked bird and even JUICIER than the other method.

    Great recipe...I got a pre-brined turkey from a local restaurant, but used the method to cook it. Everyone said it was great! I stuffed mine with an apple, a orange, and a bunch of rosemary. only warning, my 16-lb bird took 3 hours, but after the longer wait we had a perfect dinner.

    We loved the flavor and moistness and the recipe was not too difficult if you planned ahead. The only problem we faced was the timing. Using the recipe's suggested time to cook we were way off cooking a 16.8 lb. turkey. Even using the thermometer, there was way too much pink fluid flowing during the carving for comfort. I had to put it back in for a good while before we felt safe from salmonella risk. The flavor is absolutley unbeatable, just make sure it is done!

    I have been cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey for 30 years. I heard of brining but was never secure on trying it. Your show, Good Eats gave me the motivation. I never have been a white meat fan - it was the best. This will now be my traditional recipie. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!!!

    I had family over and they were saying it was the best turkey they have ever had. I brined a turkey before and deep fried one last year but it looks like this recipe is a keeper.

    I did this with just breasts. It was amazing. Juicy, moist, flavorful. Don't be afraid of the "weird" ingredients in the brine recipe - the final product just tastes wonderful. I'm never going to do TG turkey any other way.

    my church was having a pot luck dinner right after the service and my mother decided she would volunteer the turkey. I had seen the episode titled romancing the bird and thought that it seemed like a tastey idea. I took the bird to my church and well, didn't take any home. eveyr single person who tried it loved it. Now I have to cook turkey every holiday. That's ok though, because then we have ... good eats....
