How to Cook a Turkey

Yes! I would love for you to do a gravy video! My poor, sainted mother tried so many years to teach how to make gravy and I just never got it. She is in Heaven today for that alone! John, maybe I might be able to comprehend your method.

Used this recipe today and it was the best turkey I’ve ever cooked and I have been cooking turkey for over 40 yrs. My husband doesn’t like rosemary so I mixed in dried thyme, marjoram salt and pepper into the butter that I added to underneath the skin. Not using a rack under the turkey and cooking at 450 for the first 15 minutes….genius!!! I loved the addition of lemon, garlic and onion to the broth. Made for the juiciest turkey we’ve ever had. Better than brined. Thanks so much. I watch all your videos and they are my go to recipes

Just wanted to let you know that this weekend, I made your turkey, your dinner rolls and your biscuits. All three were the best I have every made and honestly, the turkey was the best I have ever had! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Please do a gravy video! I'm using things I've learned here for cooking my Thanksgiving Cornish hens, and while I have a general idea of making a gravy, I feel like it can't hurt to get that extra info from a highly trusted source 😸

Thank goodness. I have been watching turkey videos for a couple of days cus I’m making my first one this year and I’m so glad to have one from my most trusted source ❤

I've been making Thanksgiving dinner for over 50 years, often for large groups of friends, but I'm going total Preppy Kitchen this year and following all your recipes. Including the pumpkin pie, with the pumpkins I grew myself. The only one I couldn't find is the turkey gravy recipe. Love your channel, Thanks!!!!

I tried your recipe for thanksgiving yesterday and oh my gawd did it turn out FANTASTIC! The moistest and flavorful turkey I have ever cooked. The leftovers are to die for.😊 Thank you so much!

A very successful turkey recipe! I’ve tried several others over the years but this is it. So simple, yet the flavor, texture and color were just right.
