    Anne Burrell is sa genius. This recipe totally rocks from beginning to end. The turkey is flavorful and moist. I have had trouble making gravy for years and this one is foolproof. Even I can make it and it does not separate. My friends were asking to take home leftovers.

    This is now my recipe for Thanksgiving every year.
    Can't wait for more from Anne.

    This turkey was soooooo good! Every year in my family we have had the same turkey so I wanted to try a different recipe out. I instantly looked to Anne and found this recipe. The brine was so well worth it and the drying of the skin in the fridge also was well worth it. I was a supa-star in my kitchen!

    Huge flavor with this recipe. I made two 18lb birds this way for Thanksgiving last year. It's was nice to have a second refrigerator. I used ziploc brand XXL bags, and used a Rubbermaid container on each shelf of the frige. Thanks Anne :

    This recipe was delicious, even though I wasn't able to brine the full 2-3 days. I did 24 hours and it was wonderful. After all of the turkey was gone, I tried it with some turkey thighs and the 2-3 days makes it even better!! I will be doing my turkeys and turkey and turkey parts this way from now on. Even thought the turkey looked overly brown/burnt in some spots, there was not a dry piece of meat to be found!! Thanks chef Burrell!!

    I can not stop raving about this recipe! I watched Ann Burrell make this turkey on television and I could tell that this was a winner. I immediately went to the computer and printed out the recipe. I make my first turkey EVER this past Christmas using this recipe. My turkey was the hit of the entire dinner! It was so flavorful, juicy and tender. I agree with the other reviews that it does take a quite a bit of prep-work, but believe you me, the payoff is worth it!

    Excellent recipe. I did a couple of different things though. I brined the turkey for a whole week, and oh my goodness, so flavorful! And in the brine I did only apple cider, no water, so I added a bit more salt, I also added some apple cider vinegar, I like that bright flavor. And many people are gluten intolerant, so for the gravy I simply pureed all the pan sauce, and that was the best gravy I've ever had.

    Excellent Brine. I added one grapefruit to the brine just because I had one hanging around. I brined the turkey for 2 days. From there I did not follow the receipe. Then after drying the turkey I rubbed herbed olive oil under the skin and all over the outside. Then I basted with the oil. My gravy was made with 1 cup cider, 1/2 cup wine and 1 qt turkey stock.
