    This was the most Norman Rockwell turkey that I've ever made. It was beautiful! It also had a lovely flavor. I will definately make it again next year.

    I bought a 5 gallon bucket at the paint store for brining. Since it was cold, our turkey spent the night on the front porch. That saved moving shelves around in the refrigerator.

    I substituted bay leaves for the allspice berries since I didn't have any in the cupboard. I needed to start the brining a little earlier in the evening because of the cooling down required. It does help to read the recipe. One could also have the brining liquid ready way in advance and simply throw the turky in before going to bed.

    This makes for the most moist turkey. Had it last thanksgiving and for 2004 I tried putting it in a banking bag and it was AWESOME. A bit hit with everybody and sooooo tender and full of flavor from the auromatics.

    Every time I have used this recipe the turkey has come out perfect! The turkey gets so juicy it's like a gyser when we took the thermometer out!!! I wish I could attach a smell-o-gram. I highly recommend it and all your guests will love it!

    I can't say enough good things about this recipe. I followed it to the letter, but used some of Wolfgang Puck's seasonings and butter for the skin, and it was WONDERFUL! This was my first turkey, so I was nervous, but Alton made it easy. My mother in law thought I was insane for brining and cooking it at 500 at first, but I showed her! HA! Everyone raved over the moist and flavorful turkey. Thank you SO much, Alton!!!

    Even though there is alot of preparation involved, it is sooo worth it. I followed the instructions carefully and even bought one of those thermometer too, the two mistakes I have made was: 1. Left the liver bag in the turkey. 2. Inserted the probe too far down the breast and probably touched the bone. The alarm went off in 1 hour and I took the turkey out, and it was way undercooked. I stuck it back in the oven, really dissapointed and worried that it might overcook and get dry. It did get overcooked, but it was STILL TENDER AND JUICY! This is my turkey recipe for life, Alton Brown does it again!

    My brother prepared this turkey for our family Thanksgiving and it was a total hit. He actually prepared two: one for the oven and the other cooked on the grill. Absolutely delicious. It was the first time I didn't have to put something on my turkey to make it edible. Gravy would only hide the true, delicious flavor this turkey has. The cranberry dipping sauce was nice, but this turkey is so good it can just stand alone!
