I tried this recipe on Thanksgiving 2011 and everyone loved it. Very easy to make and it came out golden brown and very juicy. I am now the designated turkey cook of my family.

Don't scrimp or use alternate ingredients for this recipe. If you can't find finished candied ginger in your store, use Alton's candied ginger recipe. I make enough ginger to also make Alton's Free Range Fruit cake, which is the BEST fruit cake you'll ever have. I've made the turkey the last three holidays, and every time, without exception, everyone raves about the finished product. The turkey is golden brown, and juicy. I use a small cooler that's been completely disinfected to brine the turkey. Once you have the ice inside, you won't have to add much more while it's brining. Good luck!

I bought a 27lb. fresh turkey that the store marked down. I did the brine thing that Alton said. Put the bird in the 500 degree oven for 30 mins then the tent and turned down the heat to 350 with a probe in the breast with a alarm. Started it at 10:30 am. It is now done as the alarm went off at 2pm. 3 1/2 hours to cook it. The package said to cook it for 6 hours!! Thanks Alton !! Every turkey I will cook will be like this...SO MOIST AND JUICY !!!

There is nothing to change about this recipe. The compliments were great and I enjoyed it myself! I only marinated my 25lbs turkey for 2 hours, but followed the exact recipe provided and it was amazing. Of course the cooking time was longer than 2 hours, but my thermometer did not fail me...it was perfect!

I have made this recipe twice now. The brining process is what makes it flavorful and moist. I will never roast any bird without brining it again! The first time I made it, I followed the recipe to the letter and it was raved about for days afterward. The second time I made this recipe, I used an 8 lb chicken and halved the amount of everything, boiled the brine in my slow cooker and after it cooled I took the pot out of the slow cooker and brined the bird inside it. That idea came from hating to do extra dishes. Plus, I used ground allspice and ginger instead of the allspice berries and candied ginger. I also used chicken stock instead of the vegetable stock and it turned out just as good IMO.

We finally gave this a try. Why did we wait so long?! Not hard. Really, just a little extra work ahead of time but less during the roasting (no basting. The end result? Perfectly cooked. Tasty dark meat. And the best white meat ever. Moist and tasty. My wife never liked white meat. Now, she can't get enough of it. Thanks Alton!

I am one voice among 4285 as I write this review... this recipe is officially tried n true after two very successful holiday turkeys! I typically prefer to try new recipes, but since this went over so well during Thanksgiving 2011 I decided to make it for Christmas 2012. I can't say enough for how beautiful and moist and flavorful this recipe makes the turkey. Lovely! Compliments all around - it was the talk of the table!
