With appropriate forethought, this recipe is easy to follow and takes much less time than a conventional roast turkey. Our oven is designed to be used as a convection oven; it has a convection roast feature which we used. We dropped the temperature by 25 degrees in each portion and it seemed to work, nothwithstanding that we scorched the top at first by having the turkey too high in the oven (our fault, not the recipe's. My husband and I agreed that it was a tasty bird but not that much different than a regular turkey for moistness. However, the shortened cooking time made it much easier to prepare. I would consider it again and would be interested to hear how other convection oven owners fared on this recipe.

My Thanksgiving was last Saturday because I always work on the holiday. This was my best turkey ever! I used sage and lemon instead because my mother-in-law does not like rosemary. My turkey was 19lbs. and while it did take longer cooking time, it still came out great! I just made sure the thermometer said 165 degrees. It was very moist and made a wonderful gravy, too! Thanks for sharing it, Ina!

The title was interesting so we thought we would try. The whole process worked right down to the carving. We tested with a thermometer as noted, covered for 30 minutes then carved. The inside thigh area was still very red. We decided that it needed about 15 more minutes of cook time. I am not sure if it is because we used a frozen and thawed turkey versus a fresh turkey or not. HOWEVER, the taste was wonderful (put the inside thigh pieces back in over. Additionally, we cooked the carcus, including the onions from inside for soup, and that came out better than usual as well. Must be the seasonings ahead of time. Will definitely do again, adding the extra time even though it says it is done. Delicious!
