This is the BEST turkey recipe you will ever find! I did not brine my turkey, and I used a frozen turkey, so I was a little apprehensive. It made no difference. It was SOOO moist and delicious. It came out perfectly browned w/ the skin nice and crisp. My family has officially elected me to make Thanksgiving every year now. Small note...I did replace the lemon with apple and that helped to make the turkey very moist. I highly recommend this recipe if you want perfect, moist, succulent turkey!

I too brined my turkey first, then used this recipe. Only the 2nd turkey I've ever cooked. This was by far the best turkey I've ever eaten. Even the leftovers are moist and tender. Recommend this!

This was by far the best turkey I have ever made or ever tasted. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner for over 30 years and my family said this year was the best! The white meat was extra moist. I brined my turkey first then followed this recipe. I have always cooked my turkey in a plastic bag but never again. Thanks, Sandra Lee!

This recipe is phenomenally delicious! The seasonings, the way they exude their qualities into the meat & the garlic-herb butter all combine to make the bird wonderfully savory & moist. I became aware of this recipe from my niece who adopted it as the singular recipe for her Thanksgiving turkey from the first try a number of years back. The only 'drawback' I can foresee anyone having might be the little bit of extra effort of applying the seasoned butter according to the directions & stuffing the bird. No biggie by me, though, as there's nothing involved that's actually difficult. The resulting flavor & juiciness more than justify this recipe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :

@knfs485 - I put a butter layer between the skin and meat last year and this year, and I still basted. Alton puts his turkey in a brine to prevent drying. I would baste this turkey - and I will in about an hour :

Last minute question, during the show she never mention baste with pan juices every 20 minutes. Is it a necessary step? Other host like Alton Brown say never open the oven door till the turkey is rdy.
