How to Cook a Turkey - Testimonials

I'm just the messenger, folks. The real thanks goes to the chefs who have shared this method with us. They deserve all the credit and All the thanks.

My turkey was a hit I’ve been married for 13 years…2 kids…and this is only the 2^nd time I’ve been in charge of the turkey. It's not that I can’t cook…I just don’t like to cook. The turkey was perfect. I have been elected to be in charge every year now. Not sure if I am excited about this…but it’s a great vote of confidence. Angie
WOW!!! What a success!! I followed your instructions exactly except for at the end I uncovered and basted for 15 minutes. (10 lb turkey)
It gave the turkey a nice golden brown crispy coat. Tender as ever inside. THANKS!!!! (You were right about the everything else usually being the discussion of goodness, this year it was the turkey!) Warmly, Michelle
I just wanted to let you know that I my turkey this year was the best I've ever made, thanks to you!! When I cut into the breast meat, you could actually see the juices flowing!! You were right! This IS how I will cook my turkey from this day forward!! Thanks soooooo much! Jennifer
Just wanted to let you know, I did cook a turkey using your method and it was absolutely awesome! We were in a cabin so we had to use a foil roasting pan and tin foil to cover the turkey (11lb)....I also just put a thick layer of butter in between the skin and breast (unmelted)and used the spices you recommended sprinkled on the butter....I would say baked it roughly around 4 hours...it was incredible! The
temperature in the turkey at the time it was done was well above 180...it was like 200 when I pulled it from the oven...

Just wanted to let you know it was GREAT!! Lori
My family celebrated our first Thanksgiving together this past week and it was the first time we cooked a turkey. I am used to eating Thanksgiving turkey that has been overcooked. I did have a deep fried turkey one time and it was very moist, however, the cooking process is much too dangerous. I downloaded your directions from the Internet and followed them exactly as you recommended. The end result was the most delicious and moist turkey we have ever eaten!!!

My sincere thanks for you helping to make our first family Thanksgiving a great success. Glenn H. 11/26/07
Thank you for your web site! This Thanksgiving, somehow I was chosen out of my family to cook the turkey, even though I had never done it before. I followed your recipe, cooking a 13 lb turkey, and the it was the best turkey we had ever had for Thanksgiving. I cannot stress enough how easy it was, no basting, no fussing, just a great bird. Thanks again for the website Rob E. 11/26/07
WOW!

I am sure you hear this all the time but, seriously that was the juiciest, incredibly moist turkey I have ever had! It was also the first I ever cooked! I went online to get instructions on how to cook a turkey since this was going to be the first one I have ever made and I came across your site. Thank God for goggle :-) Yours was actually the first I looked at.

I was a little worried about my oven temperature but decided to go along with it anyway. I also ended up covering it with aluminum foil, which I believe you don't recommend, however it seemed to not hurt the Turkey. I seasoned it right between the breast and the skin like you said with butter rosemary, and thyme. I also added some bay leaves. I did put a celery stalk, halved orange, onion, one habernero pepper, and a stalk of rosemary.

Then I seasoned the outside with salt, pepper, and paprika. A little over

4 hours later I was carving my Turkey (again something I never have done
before) and all my worries of it being dry melted away. Really no pun intended! I couldn't help but eat the little pieces that separated themselves from the pieces I was cutting off. I had to give myself a little pat on the back and credit to you! Thank you so much for your perfected slow roast Turkey method! You truly made my first crack at cooking Thanksgiving great!

Thank you for your advice. I cooked my first Thanksgiving meal last year and it was a success thanks to your help. I was told by a few family members and friends that it was the best turkey they every had. I look forward to cooking this year. Your fan, Tammy
