Every Thanksgiving for many years, we've experimented making different turkey recipes. This is one that the whole family enjoyed. Begin preparing the turkey a day ahead as it needs to soak overnight in...
Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. It's almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split,...
The rub makes this turkey absolutely delicious! The roasting technique comes from Fine Cooking Magazine, issue #60, but the rub is my own. This makes enough rub for a 15 to 20 lb turkey. All the herbs...
I've made this turkey for a crowd and it was a huge hit. There are a lot of steps, but several of them can be done the day before. My group really enjoyed the gravy, but for me, it was a tad bit sweet...

Traditional flavors (honey and orange) and contemporary ones (cumin and chilies) come together in the glaze, which also gives the gravy some heat and zip. From Bon Appétit, November 2001.
I have been making this turkey every Thanksgiving for the last 15 years or so! It always produces a tender, moist meat and flavorful skin, and I can't imagine making turkey any other way. The key is that...

All you need to smoke this turkey is a grill with a lid and a bag of hickory chips. Braising the turkey results in marvelously complex flavors; sweet, bitter and herbaceous. We used french roast and 1...
This is the way turkey is prepared in Puerto Rico, where it is seasoned the same way a pork shoulder is. It is called "pavochon", which translates literally as "turkeypork", due to its distinctive flavor....
A family tradtiion since 2005! In my opinion, there is no other way to make a turkey or dressing. It is labor intensive with a very long list of ingredients but well worth the effort. If you allow your...
This is the moistest turkey I have ever made. The herbs tucked inside the bird and the herb-oil mixture give it a wonderful flavor. Allow 3/4 pound uncooked turkey per person. I like to tuck 3 whole sages...
The apples and veggies form the rack for the turkey. The juices make a fabulous gravy! From Southern Living, with a few adjustments. Prep and cooking time does not include chilling time.
This is from epicurious and the best turkey I've ever had. The breast meat was succulent and moist, without adding salt, even 3 days later. I was afraid the gravy would be too un-traditional for my guests...
We made this for Passover and it was a great hit! Cooked in a Nesco oven (you can keep it breast side up) it was roasted to perfection with gorgeous skin and juicy tender meat. The gravy was delicious...

Make the garlic herb rub up to a day ahead and rub under the skin of the turkey, then let the turkey chill. After you cook the turkey, cover it with foil to keep it warm whiel you bake the sweet potato...
Using some ingredients from my imagination, Nigella Lawson's 'Feast', Tyler's Ultimate, and the 'Joy of Cooking', I created a warm, spicy, and savory brine that produced a JUICY and succulent bird. Do...
I have betrayed my Southern heritage! You see, here in the South, we make Dressing - not Stuffing. All my life I was served dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas and I just can't help it - I don't like...
I saw this recipe when I was watching Tyler Florence on the tv network. I tried it last weekend and it was perfect. Will make any thanksgiving turkey moist and flavorful! Cooking time is for marinating...
Thanksgiving will never be the same! This recip came from my fiance's first ex-wife's father... and it is the only way we fix turkey anymore. The apples & veggies make it really juicy and really bring...
This is not some recipe I found, it is just my personal way of marinating / seasoning any kind of meat. I use a flavor injector, an electric Roasting oven, some oven bags, foil, ties, pop-up timer and...
This is based on a recipe from Pampered Chef that used just the Turkey Breast. I tailored it for our Thanksgiving whole turkey and the result was a beautiful, delicious, and moist bird that my mother-in-law...
This turkey got rave reviews at the Thanksgiving dinner table. It was very moist and the gravy turned out very flavorful too. A few notes... I made this turkey in a Nesco Roaster. It was a 22 lb. bird...
A truly delicious turkey. The assortment of fresh herbs is key. If you can't find fresh shiitakes, subsitute portobellos or any other mushroom. From Bon Appetit.
This is a VERY juicy turkey! It is so delicious, but a little salty, so if you can't have, or don't like salt then I would reduce the amount of use more water. This turkey comes out VERY tender. Most turkeys...
