I made this turkey as well as the brine and the stock. I can honestly state this has got to be the moistest turkey I have ever personally made and tasted. My husband and son raved about this for Thanksgiving today. Thanks so much Emeril and Foodnetwork! This recipe is definitely one for the "to make again" category!

I saw this episode of Emeril LIVE last year and did my Turkey exactly as the recipe says. It was seriously the BEST turkey I ever had. Our guests talked a long time after about that turkey. Needless to say, I will be doing it again the same way this year. This just can't be beat! Thanks Emeril!

To Joseph in NY: Yes, turn the entire turkey over, breast down, and bake for 1 hour, then flip back over, breast up, and cook for the remaining time. My father-in-law (who is in his seventies, taught me this trick about 6 years ago and I was amazed at the difference it makes. As long as you don't overbake or underbake the turkey, it should turn out perfectly moist and tender. Take my word or it...you will never bake a turkey differently again. Good luck!!

Question for the brine - Do you squeeze the lemons and the oranges?

I followed this recipe last Thanksgiving and had so much praise over it that I will make it for both sides of the family this year. It was super moist with a very nice brown skin.

I've made this turkey two years in a row and it was a big hit with my family and friends. Follow the recipe just as it is to get the best results. I will not change anything. Also be sure to buy a fresh turkey if you can, it does make a difference, I happen to think so. The turkey is flavorfull and not only on the skin or on the surface but in all the meaty parts of the turkey as well, if you are not getting these results then your probably doing something wrong. I will make it every year from now on.

You start off cooking the turkey breast down because the juices all end up at the bottom so it's suppose to make the breast meat juicier.
