Thank You Sandra for another GREAT recipe keeper!!! I used this Brine our 14.5 lbs. turkey for Christmas Dinner 2012 along side of Giada De Laurentiis "Sweet and Savory Root Vegetable Stuffing". We were amazed at the Moistness and flavor of the turkey (even the white meat. Everyone enjoyed the turkey including those that don't normally like turkey because it is normally DRY!!! I cooked the turkey without a bag on a rack. The gravy was also fantastic!!!! This simple brining recipe is well worth the effort!!!!

I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN.

This brine made an awesome turkey. I have made several over the years and this was the best ever. I doubt I ever will use another brine recipe for a whole turkey. After brining the turkey, I used the Barefoot Contessa Perfect Roast Turkey recipe. It was a perfect combination!

This brine was wonderful. We didn't notice a lot of flavor added to the turkey, but it was so juicy and tender. My husband said it was the first time he enjoyed cutting the turkey because it just literally fell off the bone. There was no meat left on the entire carcass. My mother talked about how wonderful it was in her sunday school class and they all want the recipe.

I have made Sandra Lee recipes for Thanksgiving for the last three times, and the turkey is always moist, tender, good flavor. My daughter loves it, and the smell of herbs and citric around the house is delicious.

Delish! My turkey was falling off the bone. My Dad said it was the best turkey he's ever had (and saying it was better than my grandma's which says a lot. I also used an oven bag to cook it it, so I don't know if it helped with the moistness, but ether way the flavor was great. Will be using this evey year.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and everyone raved about the turkey. It was the most moist and flavorful turkey I ever had. I agree with the other reviewer--I will make this recipe every year.
