The "Best" Turkey

Post by natsgarden123 » Fri Nov 13, 2015 7:36 pm

So, what are people's opinions?
So far, the best one I have made was Bell and Evans.

I'm not sure if this is the best, it's the one I make when I make turkey :)

I've made Alton Brown's Good Eats Turkey, I love it, it's a great recipe

I don't have my method posted ... but this is basically what I do.

But, I also put a little compound butter mix, (sage, rosemary, parsley, thyme) under the skin. Then, I rub the skin with a mix of butter and olive oil, s/p. Season the cavity with s/p and stuff with a few of the same herbs I put under the skin. Otherwise, I follow the above recipe.

The butter under the skin is optional; but, I like it. You can skip that.

I will say ... I make turkeys different all the time. I have brined and not. I have deep fried and NOT. I can't really say I have a favorite. Cajun, Maple brined, etc. Stuffed. I NEVER stuff my turkey!
