    Best bird I ever made! Perfectly cooked, seasoned, moist, and tasted awesome!!! I gave it 5 stars only because I can't give it 11!

    OMG! So delicious!! But then again, every brined bird I've done via Emeril has turned out fabulous.. Now, there was a hitch, but on our part. My mom brought over a turkey in a salt solution, so it was a bit too salty. Wish I'd soaked the turkey longer. Even though too salty, it's soooo good!

    I have been using this recipe with my own twist for years now. I put some of my fresh roasted ground coffee into the rub and then put the bird into my smoke cooker. I use applewood, and it comes out fabulous everytime. WARNING........the bird lasts only minutes before totally consumed. Oh, BTW... I freeze the carcass and in the following week, make a great southwestern turkey soup with it!

    I have been making our Thanksgiving Turkey using this brine recipe for about 6 years, everyone loves it. The turkey comes out moist and tender when roasted and even when deep fried. Give it a try you'll be very pleased ans so will your family.

    This turkey breast was amazing, I won't be cooking a traditional turkey EVER again! We also smoked our turkey in a smoker bag on the grill SOOO good!

    I have tried this for the past two years and love this recipe. Last year we did things a little different and fried two turkeys and roasted one whole and everybody loved it!

    I have been using this recipe ever since Emeril cooked it on t.v.. I use a whole turkey and the bird always comes out juicy and tender. This recipe is a no fail and it is the best tasting bird. I can't roast a bird any other way now. Thanks Emeril

    This has become my Thanksgiving and/or Christmas turkey recipe. Never dry - always juicy. I have to dilute the drippings down and never have to season when making the gravy. It's perfect. Well worth the effort.
