[@NalleliSalazar]

Laura, I just want to say thank you for showing me how to cook a turkey. I cooked my thanksgiving meal from all your recipes and all I can say is you really helped me a lot. I made the turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and the stuffing using all of your recipes. Thank you so much! ❤ This was my husband’s and I’s first time cooking our thanksgiving meal. Everything was delicious and he loved it. Thank you Laura ❤

[@graceheleski8818]

Oh Me Oh My... This turkey is hands down the BEST turkey we've ever eaten. Compliments all around: "... really really good", "best turkey I've ever had", "...So moist and Juicy". Soooo good.... Gravy was delish!!!

[@user-cb8zk6qq1r]

The face that I’m Asian and I live in Paris now, means that I’ve never had a turkey and my household never celebrated thanks giving, but this video and all of your video makes me happy because it feels just like good time with family kinda vibe❤ love you and wishing your family from mine a wonderful holiday season, and hoping these platforms love your content as they should!

[@mariaoviedo5881]

Laura, I really appreciate when you discuss cooking science / techniques in your recipes, and it felt like a treat to get a full 20 minute video of just that. I feel like i learned a lot & you made it seem so simple!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Awwww I’m so happy to hear that❤️❤️❤️

[@Tgill122]

Agreed! I've learned so much about cooking over the years from the cooking techniques she mentions in the videos. Thank you for all you do, Laura!

[@barbaras8447]

I have watched your gravy video every year for the past 4 years....i will not make it any other way. I also do the Turkey the way you did it in your other video years ago..... love it.... makes me look like a pro every year..... Thank YOU ❤

Can you please paste the link to the other video?

[@MsMARIASC]

I dont think I need any other turkey recipe ever!!!! I've been getting pieces here and there to create the perfect turkey. And you just gathered them together and created this video!! Thank you sooo much!!! I love dry brining my turkey the Tuesday before its totally worth it!!! Thank you!!! ❤

[@TaraT522]

@@LauraintheKitchenmy oven has a built in thermometer, I plug it in, stick in the turkey and I set the turkey at the internal temp I want and it will display it throughout the cooking process! It’s amazing

[@Sofia-os8ee]

Yes I always come back here too. If I’m in charge to make a Turkey, I always come back to Laura in the kitchen

[@annlewellen4073]

I went thru the same thing too. I was gathering pieces too then I remembered to check in on Laura and so glad I did. This will be so much easier and with all those ings I can smell and taste it now. WOW! Thank you Laura!😊

[@debbiezullo7056]

Tip from a Italian American friend, when you’re doing the butter mixture, put it on the plate… smash all the ingredients on the plate it works much better than doing it in a bowl. I cook my turkeys, almost identical to how you’re cooking you that one! And I totally agree on your cooking times. So many people over cooked their turkeys, and they’re terrible, totally dry. Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@richardgoff6739]

I tried this turkey method today for our family get-together and it was amazing. I am sort of a "if it's not broke, don't fix it" type of guy, but this video looked intriguing, so I tried it. The turkey was so flavorful and juicy. The juices at the bottom of the pan were so rich that I didn't have to add any bullion-just flour and the best gravy ever. I have a new favorite turkey recipe. Thanks.

[@dicknodnfs]

WOW! This is way more detailed than the original recipe. The added steps along with safety. is appreciated. I dry brine all of my pork butts. Pork and poultry 101. I'm glad you do this every year. Thanks.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

You’re so welcome!! Ahhhhh cross contamination is SOOO scary to me!!

[@nademalarkin4296]

For Thanksgiving our oldest sister usually makes the turkey but this year the baby sister had the job. She's never made a turkey before but we knew your recipe would not disappoint and directed her to this video. Honestly the best turkey we've ever had it was picture perfect and juicy down to the bone. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving🧡

[@thelasonj]

Hi Laura, I followed your instructions about the salted skin/24 hour in refrigerator process. No time to go to store, so I made a butter with Good Seasons Greek dressing packet, thyme & rosemary & garlic under skin/in cavity with apple & garlic & lime & garlic (what I had in kitchen!) ...Laura, this was THE BEST turkey I've made in my Life. My husband was happy and I was so impressed with myself 🤣🤣 I'm a terrible cook, this was a great achievement! THANK YOU so much. Happy Thanksgiving! 🩷

[@nisreenziadeh7777]

[@candyherrera3743]

Thank you Laura!! I would make your butter herb turkey every year for the past few years and this year I will try this method! I love your recipes!

[@ashleyharrell8995]

Used your method and the turkey turned out great, first turkey I've ever cooked. Thanks for the video.

[@Lesliek79]

I’ve been doing your thanksgiving turkey for the longest time. I make it every year and it’s yummy and juicy. Thank you!

Im still following the original thanksgiving turkey and using turkey necks to make the gravy!

[@-RONNIE]

Very nice 👍🏻 I know this video will help out people that are nervous because they're cooking this for the first time or not that experienced doing turkeys in general.

[@taylornarder6331]

I am in the middle of a move and haven't been able to think this year! Well now I have a turkey recipe! Thank you so so much. 💕 can you do updated stuffing classic and ham? Thank you laura!! ☺️☺️

[@debralockwood5308]

Laura, used your turkey recipe for the first time. I had a 12# turkey, I covered it with foil and removed the foil 1.5 hours later. The foil was actually brown around the edges and the turkey tested done - what?! (I don't know if it was the dry brine or the herb butter rub, but there were almost burnt herb patches on the skin.) I knew that turkey could not be done so I put in back in the oven and waited for the "pop" up to happen, which was about an hour later. I let the turkey sit on the counter for an hour before slicing it and it was delicious! Bravo! However, my stock was so salty I couldn't use it to make gravy, I used 2T of salt (1T per 5#). Any idea what I did wrong? Your videos are fabulous! Mashed potato, sweet potato and stuffing were all delicious 👍

[@mariannekingsbury2566]

I cooked the turkey with your recipe and wow. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes

[@cindydefino8595]

I am one of your biggest fans. My mom was a chef to the Hollywood industry. In New Jersey but out of New York on Jersey and all the other areas I have a method of making stuffing that is unbelievable you doing the regular bag stuffing to be the corn bread or whatever kind of stuff and they have a make your own and then you’re adding slices of pepperoni and package to mozzarella not fresh Chris it’s too wet but you really loaded up with what’s the deal and pepperoni it is the most amazing stuffing you’ll ever try try it my name is Cindy. You will love it.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Sounds so yum!!

I’ve always brined my turkey with a cider brine. It’s good but I’m thinking of trying something different this year.

[@cinzanita9428]

I pretty much love everything you cook. I have been brining our turkey for 10 years. Somehow I have never experienced the turkey being tasteless and I have never had a soggy skin. It is as crispy as it gets. It is beyond moist and flavorful. So, I don’t quite know why is my brine different. But, I could never not brine our turkey. I do appreciate all you do to make things taste great.

If I got a Butterball turkey with what is says as "8% herb solution/salt" should I add more salt like normal or is it fine?

[@rafterman3712]

That rack roast-pan is genius !

[@elauraholydayyy447]

Miss Martha Stewart mentioned once that its hard to over salt a turkey, i never forgot that.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Indeed

[@devild4089]

I started deep frying turkeys but I may just switch it up this year. Either way I’ll definitely use Laura’s turkey stock recipe.

[@johnperez93640]

For the juiciest turkey, when slicing ur pieces, dip em into the juices before putting them on ur plate. No need for fancy cooking techniques or ingredients, all turkeys will produce juice when cooking, just dip the slices before putting on the plate and say, juicy turkey. Works every time, guaranteed.

I love your recipes. I make your original recipe every year. need to do two turkeys this year. Have you ever cooked your turkey in an electric roaster? Of so. did you have to make adjustments ?

[@jackiewalsh6678]

Looks delicious! Will try your dry brine this year as I have been wet brining for several years but super hard to manage when doing 2 turkeys! Can you tell me is your oven set to "bake" @ 350 or "roast" @ 350 or can anyone else answer my question? Thank you!

All hail to the Queen!!!! What a fantastic video, Laura. I do have to say my turkey recipe is based on your traditional turkey recipe, and it has always been a hit. Last year, I saw a video on Tiktok of someone dry brining their turkey, and I was very intrigued, so I combined both methods just like you did in this recipe, and I have to say, IT IS SUBLIME!!!😍

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Ahhhhhhh thank you so so much! You’re the sweetest ❤️

[@bts845]

If I bought a fresh butterball turkey, how is the prep different? Do I still salt and let it dry in the fridge?

[@elleenge2978]

You’re so welcome!!

[@elleenge2978]

Question-do you baste during the cooking process like the original recipe? Can’t wait to make this!

[@lisadurant4689]

Hi there, it seems that putting the salt mixture between the skin and breast would have been more effective. Is this an error in my thinking? I will defer to your judgement since you're a fabulous chef.

[@cf3129]

Yes yes yes! Thanksgiving is over for me but I’m gonna save this for next year!! ❤❤

[@MissBeeHaven1963]

did you mention how long it needs to rest for after it comes out of the oven??

[@LauraintheKitchen]

30 minutes!
