This was my first time cooking a turkey and the result was AMAZING!!! When I told my husband that I will do the turkey, he asked me "Are you serious?" LOL! I just followed the recipe and EVERYONE including my husband LOVED it! My cousin now calls me Iron Chef Chikay!

It was not dry, it was PERFECT. I cooked a 20-pound turkey for 5 hours, after I applied the butter with sage I covered it with foil. I removed the foil 30 mins before I removed the turkey from the oven.

Thank you soooo much Chef Bobby Flay, you ROCK!

I have to agree with Moses...this totally missed the mark. I had my heart set on this recipe because of all the good rave reviews. I was dreaming of a GREAT TURKEY...that would have all my guest rave. Not one did! I did it just like the recipe said to do...and took all the extra care to make sure I followed all the steps.

I am used to good home cooking...and this was just an *okay*...but definately not worth passing on the recipe. Quite disappointed to say the least. The flavor also ruined my gravy dripping. Ugh!

This is a recipe that may be good for someone who is used to eating Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and any turkey would taste good to them. Not for this seasoned cook.

Totally missed the mark on this one. Tried it on Thanksgiving and it was a total bust. Video showed more ingredients than the actual recipe. Turkey turned out to be too dry.

Good thing I watched the video. The recipe says nothing about the sage and garlic butter compote. Looks good!

This was not my first turkey. This WAS the best I ever made! It is incredible. Pomegranate Molasses? Who would have thought? It is a great recipe especially if you want to impress your guests.

1st turkey ever made, decided to give this a try on Thanksgiving. It turned out RIDICULOUSLY well! Guests said it was the best turkey they'd ever had(none of them were huge fans prior. I used Alton Brown's Brine + pomegranate syrup from the simply recipes website. Prior to cooking I also put a few rosemary springs, peppercorns, and red apple slices in the cavity (nuked in the microwave for 25 seconds in a bowl of water. I also made a foil tent for the breasts when the temperature was brought down.

The gravy made from the drippings was crazy delicious. Just added a bit of white wine & a few leftover herbs + low sodium chicken broth and it made for an unbeatable combo with the turkey. Only regret is that our 13 lb turkey was a bit too small - JUST enough for 5-6 people with a few leftovers for guests + no leftovers for us except the carcass, haha. Def. using a 20 lb turkey this Christmas, since Thanksgiving left us wanting more!

Bobby this has to be the absolute yummiest, most delicious, awesome, beautiful, moist, successful turkey I've ever roasted in 30 years of hosting Thanksgiving dinner! And-thanks so much for reminding us that you can never have enough chicken broth during "Thanksgiving Live"! (Alton, you were amazing!
Notes: Used 20 pound fresh bird on Turkey Day. Cooked a 12 pounder today with the same recipe...we just can't get enough! YUM...going to make a "sammy" right now! Come on out to Colorado and cook with us sometime!

Best turkey I ever ate and first I ever attempted to make. It was moist throughout and some of my guests that never eat turkey because they don't like it, went back for seconds for this one. Came out just like the picture. My wife doesn't like horseradish so I only used half what it called for, but with all the other flavors, it blended in nice and was hardly noticeable as a standalone flavor. Cooking times were exact for my application and yes, I had to make my own pomegranate molasses from Alton Brown's recipe. Also, directions say nothing about the sage in the butter so I didn't get it at the store when I went shopping. Going to redo this one for Christmas.

Oh yeah, and it didn't take half a day like I remember my mother and my wife doing when they did turkeys.
