I used Alton Browns recipe for my turkey last year. BEST TURKEY I have ever made. It was so simple and perfect! Great post! I love all the advice.

I agree with the others: the turkey looks fantastic! I love the combination of aromatics you’ve used for it too!

Thank you so much for all the advice! I’m hosting a very small Thanksgiving (just 3 people) so I’m just using the Butterball turkey breasts (that way I don’t have to deal with all the gross innards), but this is such great advice for when the day comes for me to make the real, full, thing!

This looks like a perfectly roasted bird :) I love the skin just a tad crispy!

We’ve brined our turkey a couple of times and in both cases the results were fabulous, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the trouble. :) My husband made me promise NOT to brine the turkey this year, so we’ll see if he likes just roasting it better. I’m going to have to be satisfied with pictures of Antarctica because it’s just too cold for me! It’s beautiful, but this old body likes it warm. :)

You can do Anh, if I can do it (Marie) you can, I got this recipe from Camille, and brining as complicated as it sounds, I’m doing it for the first time this year. I’m going to use a roasting bag for the brine in the fridge though.

This looks like a stellar turkey! Roasting meats is super delicious and now I really can’t wait until Thanksgiving!
