    I am not a turkey or gravy eater at all, I don't even like the texture, but... This recipe makes the most incredible turkey ever!!! The flavors of the turkey & gravy fall nothing short of my expectations from Wolfgang Puck. It is expensive but worth ever penny if you want a good turkey.

    I was watching Food Network back in 2004, and Mr. Puck was working this recipe on TV, I thought it sounded really good and used it for the first turkey that I cooked by myself, and it was and still is a success! This is by far the juiciest turkey that I've tried, not even my mother's roasted turkey was this juicy. On top of the brine, I inject a whole bottle of white wine, prepare extra compound butter and get it all over the turkey. I cannot wait to start brining and roasting my turkey!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

    Ive used this recipe many times. I added a twist to it by adding lemon, lime and orange zest to the compound butter and stuffed the bird with the lemon, apple, orange, and lime. It was the best turkey Ive ever had!

    The only thing I could say bad about it is the brine is expensive!

    Discovered this recipe about 6 years back it's become a cherished must do.
    And yes- cook the brine this time...unlike some less complex brines it's necessary to extract all the flavs.
    To further the texture sensations, I leave enough time to air dry the bird a day in advance. Makes the skin crispy which is a common complaint with the brining process.
    This recipe is so good it can make a non pre brined Butterballl taste like real turkey ;.

    This has been my go-to Turkey Recipe for the Holidays. As the youngest cook in the family I get request for me to make the Turkey every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love this recipe and think the brine makes it so juicy and flavorful so make sure to brine the bird for at least overnight or a day before devouring it. I promise you won't have to force the turkey on the family :

    Best turkey I have ever had!!! Made this today for my first time hosting Thanksgiving and it was the star of the show. We used a turkey breast instead of the whole turkey and brined it over night, it was absolutely fantastic. The fresh herbs were aromatic and flavorful and the turkey was moist and delicious. Will be making this every year from now on, thanks!!!

    Started making this for Thanksgiving about 5 years ago. It is the best turkey ever and worth the work. I make the compound butter, and chop all the veggies the night before so assembly in the morning is a snap.
