EASY Roast Turkey & Gravy Recipe (FOOLPROOF & JUICY!)

[@KarenLeggett]

OMG! I accidentally found you and decided to follow your steps - EXACTLY as you have here (minus one... (I put the veggies in the pan but still used a turkey holder and I also added whole Bella mushrooms to the carrots, onions and celery)... but other than that - every step exactly as you teach here - and OMG... OMG... girl! This was the most delicious turkey and gravy I have ever prepared... and I have cooked maybe 30-40 turkeys (and full holiday dinners) over the years. Too bad we can't add photos because this was just fantastic and our guests loved every morsel! THANK YOU for this! Subscribed! And will also check out your website. I LOVE connecting to creative women! YOU ROCK!

[@SparrowStockwell]

Karen Leggett D.O. Oh, how super! I like hearing how you followed Dimitra’s recipe and it came out so yummy!

[@aubreymelville7449]

One of the best roast turkey videos I've seen. You touched all of the bases in a simple, yet thorough and effective way. The only thing I would do different is season the bird and leave it in the fridge overnight, for added flavorful. I always season meat overnight, Old habit. Excellent video though. Thanks.

[@classybooty]

I am a good cook. But girl you can cook. You are the best turkey cooker in KZbin.

[@denisarsenault505]

Hi Dimitra, today we have the big meal for Thanksgiving and I just put the turkey in the oven. It's the second time I cook a turkey ever in my life. The first time was in spring for Easter when I tried this recipe for the first time. Since it came out divine, today it's your recipe again with no modifications, no additions, just as you wrote it. Thank you so much for making me feel confortable enough to make a turkey again, you are a wonderful person and a great cook!!! ☺♥️🇨🇦

[@lesliemoore8188]

Cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, with your help (videos) and others, it was a SUCCESS! Thank you.

[@bdvbigfish]

Dimitra, I decided to follow your recipe because I have the same size turkey. I cooked one in the bag last time. Your recipe was a hit. Thank you for sharing and everyone loved the gravy. You explained everything very well. Thank you.

[@joeyconti2922]

You are a fantastic chef! I love your show! It's one of the BEST on the internet!. Thank you so much! I am hooked.

[@lorindagarcia8035]

I love your version of roasting your turkey👍

[@karenlopez9417]

I love how the turkey was seasoned with butter and herbs,it's so important to use seasonings to give the turkey great flavor.

[@faithbiittner759]

I thought you were very concise and so real..you made it seem so simple as to not freak out. thank you!

[@CaptBinoyVarakil]

Excellent presentation and wonderful cooking.... thanks a lot ... Merry X'mas

[@katarzynagos8165]

Dimitra! The turkey 🦃 will taste great with all the ingredients you added but the way you placed it on the platter and garnished it with herbs and fruits is out of this world! With so sophisticated food you could celebrate every single day. Bravo!!!

[@teresacox3444]

Thank you for the information I always have a problem with temperature of the oven and how much time to keep the turkey moist, I like the way you explain each step, this Thanksgiving I will follow your delicious recipe, God bless you

[@billcaban4883]

That leg looks so flavorful. I would have loved to see it before cutting. Looking at the leg, I can tell that turkey was beautiful, aramatic and delish!!! Thanks!

Love "pretty darn pretty". This phrase caught on with me. ❤ the video.

[@angelstarr5509]

First time I came across this channel, I must say I am impressed and i love this recipe. In my country we do Ham and Turkey on Christmas eve night as tradition, while we bake bread, cakes, make ponche de creme and put up our curtains. I am going to try this. Thanks for going through all the steps and keep up the wonderful job, keep those recipes coming😊😊👍

[@JawsoneJason]

Wow, can't wait to try your techniques!

[@mgbsecteacher]

Yassoo, Dimitra mas. Well done. This is the way my yiayia would fix the turkey. You made it look very doable and practical. Many people are intimidated by cooking turkey and you have showed them it's not that difficult. And you carved it in the kitchen and plated it there. I agree. Efharisto!

Happy Thanksgiving and I'm going to use this recipe today ( yes, it's "Turley day "!!🦃)& my first time at making the big 🦃day meal without my dear departed Mom ❤,Sooo ...thanks so much & again, Happy Turkey day!to you and yours,,( and I've read alot of the comments, most are very nice but I don't get why some people are just mean and rude!! I guess they're just miserable and want to spread it out to the rest of the people watching......"you get what you give" so you will get good things & happiness!!!😉👍

[@islandgal500]

Just me this 'Un'Thanksgiving so will use most of your suggestions, except will chop up things smaller under the turkey instead of leaving whole and will cut down on the salt by at least 2 teaspoons since that amount will probably raise my blood pressure too high! My gravy will be a little thicker otherwise it will dribble all over my 'shelf' (chest) haha. Not old enough to wear a bib yet although I'll be on my own. I always bake my stuffing outside the turkey because I hate struggling with it later, although it tastes better when cooked inside the bird. Going in the oven first thing in the morning for a full day and more of turkey plus leftovers and then some small snack pies for the freezer. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us, it looks perfect!

[@pjlewisful]

thank you for making it all so understandable

[@FS-gb9dw]

Love ur recipe, will do it tomorrow. Thank you

[@fireballplay2946]

As always,great ideas and excellent presentation for cooking such an American classic! There are at least as many ways of cooking these birds as there are turkeys, but, this one looks very simple yet loaded with great flavoring ideas. You never disappoint ! 😁😁

[@ivyandroses4373]

How long would you cook a 13 lb 4 oz turkey for ? Thanks. First timer

[@DimitrasDishes]

ivy and roses the rule is usually 20 mins per pound but, it all depends on your oven. The best thing to do is to stick an oven safe meat thermometer into the thigh and once the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit its done!

[@ivyandroses4373]

As always, thank you Dimitra for sharing your recipes 💕 I hope your Thanksgiving was peachy. I made the turkey yesterday using your recipe (doubling the ingredients as my turkey was 24 lbs.) and it was the most delicious and super moist turkey ever! I replaced some butter with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. I also let the turkey sit over an hour before serving. I've never liked turkey much but this recipe has changed my mind! We have a whole lot of leftovers to enjoy 😋 Many thanks 🤗

U can also just leave the butter unmelted and mash in the other ingredients and leave the butter a paste. It's easier to put on the turkey.

when you take turkey out after two hours to check the temp w/thermometer do you put it back in oven uncovered or covered in aluminum again, where do you buy a fat separator for the stock? probably grocery store im assuming, thanks.

[@georgegoodew]

I am a chef taking your turkey in and out of the oven and basting it is a wast of time, best way is put your turkey in hot oven at 450 for a half hour uncovered then turn your oven down and cook till your themomter read 165 degress

[@Diamondlife13]

im not sure

[@leosun9331]

I started doing that several years back. I do not open and close the oven too often, so as to retain the heat level. However, I definitely baste the turkey and it finishes nice and brown!

[@jibmitch]

Her way how to do it is the best I followed what she does and it’s the juicy turkey ever

[@jeanniemarie389]

This recipe looks and sounds great 👍 what about the stuffing? Can I put some in the turkey after the basil and sage flavored with lemon & orange? I’ll be watching this 10 x before I make it! Looking forward to your other holiday recipes 🎉 Thankful for you 👍

[@DimitrasDishes]

Jean Heberlein thank you!! I’m thankful for you :-) I will go into detail regarding stuffing the turkey on the livestream but the simple answer is No!! Don’t do it. It affects cooking time leading to the dreaded “dry turkey” problem.. 😂
