      I had never brined the turkey before. Wow! What a difference. We loved this recipe! I left the turkey in the brine for 1 1/2 days and let the turkey dry in the refrigerator for another day. Before baking it, I made a mixture of garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning and put it under the skin of the turkey. Then, I rubbed the exterior of the skin with a mixture of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. The whole family said it was the best turkey we've ever had. Thanks for a great recipe.

      Yes, this recipe makes for a wonderful turkey. The bird was juicy, easy to carve, but most of all full of flavor. Even though my brining bag burst during the prep, I vow to brine all poultry from now on. It was so good that I can now laugh about having to mop up 6-8 quarts of briney water the day before Thanksgiving. :)

      The brining was great for a moist turkey. Mine came out tasting rather salty, though. I notice that most other brining recipes only call for one cup of salt, so next time I'll just cut the salt in half.

      I am always responsible fo rthe turkey for the holidays. After reading all the reviews, I thought this would be worth the effort. Boy, were they right!! This was the most moist turkey I have ever made, and the flavor was wonderful. I didn't change a thing, and the compliments were endless. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!!

      Best turkey I ever had!I left it in the brine for 48 hours then B.B.Q. on a gas grill, it was the best. The white meat was as moist as the dark, I will do it again soon. Thank you John

      Never had a brined turkey before. Good good good, excellent recipe. Try it I promise you will like it. I let my stand for about 19hours. Very worth trying. Also I am a guy and have never cooked a turkey before and had to cook one for 14 people on Thanksgiving..so I was very nervous, this turkey turned out awesome.

      I have to join the crowd and say that this was a fantastic turkey! I brined it for about 16 hours, then cooked it in a Reynolds (TM) oven bag (I never remember to baste, so this solves that issue!) It was by far the most moist and flavorful turkey I have ever made - thanks for the great recipe!

      This was great. I always brine my chicken pieces before making fried chicken but this was the first time I've brined a turkey. The meat is much more flavorful done this way.

      I used this recipe for my first Thanksgiving cooking attempt. I had 8 guests including my 82 year old grandmother and grandfather. All said it was the best turkey they had ever eaten. It was a little scary to prepare but I had faith and went with it. It came out fabulous.

      I have used this recipe for a couple Thanksgivings now and it really makes a great turkey. If you are looking for a better way to make turkey you need to try this recipe!

      This was the first turkey I ever made, I am so glad I chose this recipe. I am sold on brining. Not a whole lot of effort makes for the BEST turkey I have ever had. One of our thanksgiving guests isn't a fan of turkey and he said it was the only turkey he has ever liked. I strongly recommend this for every skill level. I brined my turkey in a cooler and put some ice in it to keep it cold and let it sit for 24 hours. I also used Kittencal's Easy No-Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy for the gravy (sooo good) and Mashed Red Potatoes With Garlic And Parmesan for mashed potatoes, subbing the parm for ramano. Delish. Cant wait to make it all again.

      My husband made this recipe for Christmas Eve. The turkey turned out really moist and flavorful. We didn't have fresh sage so just sprinkled in a generous amount of poultry seasoning instead. Thanks for posting!

      Best turkey I EVER made! Followed it exactly as written. Just can't use the drippings for gravy, too salty. Thanks!

      I was nervous about this recipe. So nervous I bought an extra turkey breast and roasted it the "traditional" way. I also made a separate pan of dressing in case the stuffing from the brined turkey didn't turn out. But my nerves could have rested as this turkey turned out to be undoubtedly the best of my turkey "career" and the stuffing was delicious as well. In the end we had a really moist and delicious turkey and I still have an uncut turkey breast in the fridge for later. I skipped after brining lemon and spices and just stuffed the bird with my regular stuffing recipe. I brushed the outside with olive oil mixed with a bit of garlic and never once basted the bird while it cooked. This will definitely be my new "traditional" turkey every year. Thanks Mirj for another fabulous recipe!!

      I tried this recipe last Thanksgiving and it was the best turkey I have ever made in my life. Got such rave reviews from everyone. I am making it again this year, and probably will every Thanksgiving. It was so moist, tender and had a wonderful flavor. Try it and you won't be disappointed. Sheron Hosler - N. Ridgeville, Ohio

      I found a resipe similar to this one five years ago and have never cooked turkey another way since. I do however use maple syrup instead of honey and add some cider for the liquid. The flavors take me back to New England. The sage and thyme are perfect and I continue the herbs into the dressing.
