    I saw this episode during the Thanksgiving season in 2007 and have wanted to try it ever since. This Christmas I made it, and it met all expectations and more! It was - by far - THE most flavorful, amazing turkey I have ever tasted. My entire extended family (including a few food snobs absolutely loved it; I even received thank you notes because of the turkey!

    For those of you who might worry, the flavor is not at all overwhelming, but you will want to check the temperature carefully to be certain not to overcook. Take the tip to cut the meat to allow the clear liquids to flow, and it will be perfect.

    This was the first time I had ever done a traditional turkey in an oven (I normally smoke or fry. . and to make things more challenging I was doing it in Sweden visiting family. The Turkey came out moist and delicious, I made some additional herb/butter mixture and spooned it over the bird at 20 minute intervals and omitted the gravy as the turkey didn't need it. I can't wait to try this recipe again but on the grill or in a smoker with the 'citrus stuffing'!

    You can't ask for a better turkey recipe. Don't let the picture fool you, this recipe has been used by my family for three years and we are PICKY. The only alteration I made was increasing the amount of butter and herbs so that it would cover my entire turkey. SUCH A FANTASTIC RECIPE!!! 2000 thumbs up

    It was my first time making turkey for the family and this was a fantastic recipe. I had trouble figuring out where to put the thermometer and thus was afraid to over cook the turkey (a product of watching christmas vacation too many times. I took it out too early and it wasn't quite cooked. I put it back in to finish up after it had cooled for another 45 min. Even with the extra cooking this was the most moist turkey I have ever had. The whole kitchen smelled fantastic with the fresh herbs in the bottom of the pan. Giada is right on with this recipe, now if only she can get me to listen when she says cook for 3 hours, not 2 1/2!

    We have made this turkey for Thanksgiving the past 2 years. It is moist whether we use a whole turkey or this year, a 8 pound bone in breast. The Herbs de Provence make this one a winner-beautiful presentation-rave reviews by all!

    We used this recipe last year and it was good. This year we brined the turkey first.and placed garlic cloves under after rubbing it down with the Herbs de Provence. These two additions made it even better! This will be our turkey recipe from now on!

    Just made this for Thanksgiving with a little twist - I stuffed a 25lb. turkey with the Panettone Stuffing (Michael Chiarello and added a couple of hours to the cook time - this was amazing! Rave reviews from all of my guests - the leftovers were fabulous --this is now going to be our tradition!!

    I used this recipe for my Thanksgiving turkey this year, after brining it. I'm not sure if it was the brining, or rubbing under the skin with herbed butter that made this the best turkey we've ever had. The white meat was as juicy and moist as the dark meat. I will definitely use this recipe again.
