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!!!

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 ❤

I have watched many cooking shows from celebrity, talentless cooks, male and female, and in my opinion, madam, you are by far one of the best cooks I have ever seen.

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!

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!

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! 🩷

I’ve been using this video for the past 5 years. My dad got older abs was in charge of turkey for years and when I took over no one in my family thought I would be able to take over the tradition and my whole family praises me every year that it’s better than my dads ❤
