I did not want to make the traditional turkey dinner that I have had for ever on Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law had given me one of Giada's cookbooks last year so as I was looking through it and saw this recipe. Not only was my husbands whole family coming along with brother-in-law,neices, a cousin, etc, but I had invited my younger sister and her family who does not really care for turkey to begin with. Well all I can saw is this was a hugh winner. When I took the bird out of the oven it look beautiful. It was extremely moist and did not taste like any of the fruit I had stuffed it with. My sister by the way said it was the best turkey she has ever had. Thank you Giada I have used many of your recipes and you are a big hit in my family.

In my opinion, there is simply NO other way to prepare a turkey!
This is without question, thee most tasty, moist and delicious turkey recipe ever!
Every time I have made it, it turns out perfectly. Even my most hard to please family members fall all over themselves w/compliments when they eat this. It's that good!!!!!!!!
I have even started using this recipe when I roast a chicken because we love it so much.

Grazie, Giada! Absolutely thee best!

This was my first turkey ever, I was so nervous to make the turkey for Christmas but it turned out great. It was moist and the skin was crispy! I was looking forward to some leftovers, but it was picked clean! My mom figures that I'll be the official turkey maker from now on.

I've made this turkey 6 times now and every single time it has come out perfect.... even the year when I wasn't completely sure that the turkey was all thawed! It's flavorful and moist, and the skin is perfectly brown. I also add a few stalks of celery to the broth. It's also a great recipe to use on a chicken - be sure to adjust the time for the weight. I only roast the chicken for 20 min. total, then turn down the heat. There is no comparison between this recipe and Christine Farrar's recipe that was on the Oprah show. Giada's is MUCH better.

My boyfriend who is an unwilling cook used this turkey recipe last Christmas for his family and it was a hit. He's doing it again this year and for him that's a big deal.

This was by far the best turkey I have ever made. Just the aroma that fills the house is enticing enough, but the flavor and moistness of the turkey is outstanding.

I will definitely be using this recipe next Thanksgiving.

A winner!

Cooked a 20 lb fresh turkey for our family- 4 generation- dinner today. It was the best one we have ever done- great flavor extremely moist. I changed the temp tp 325 and cooked it SLOWLY. Worked out great.
