  1. I truly appreciate everything that ATK does, couldn’t cook without them. I just wish they had given an approximate time that the turkey would take in the oven. I know they roast said until thermometer reads……but it would be nice to know roughly how long the oven will be tied up cooking
    this recipe. 😀❤️🎅

  2. I was nervous about being responsible for the turkey for Thanksgiving. I reviewed several videos and decided upon this one. HOMERUN! Lemme just say it came out exactly as the video proposed, tender, moist, not wet, delicious. The "best turkey the family had ever had"! The gravy was wonderful on everything, turnip potatoes, meat, dressing, bread, spoons, you get the picture. THANKS!

  3. I made this method last year and it came out delicious, juicy , well cook my family love it and is so easy, thank you America Test Kitchen, my turkey came out delicious, I'm going to do it again this year, thank you one more time, keep up the good work.

  4. Damn it!!!
    I’m really busy this year, and decided to just order smoked turkey from our local barbecue.
    But this recipe, and the thigh confit, have given me such hope and inspiration!
    Maybe I’ll do both; support a local business at the holidays, and pull out the frozen gobbler (wisely purchased for peak value) in January.

  5. I just finished making the gravy, after following this recipe for cooking the breast. Such an easy way to cook delicious juicy turkey. After removing from the pan, I placed it on a sheet pan and under a low broiler for about 5-7 minutes and the skin crisped right up. Using some of the meat to make a pot pie for tonight, and the rest of the meat will be for tday dinner tomorrow.

  6. This is my second solo Thanksgiving. Last year I got a "Thanksgiving Dinner" from a restaurant that was basically a Swanson TV version. It was beyond depressing. This year, I'm going to make this turkey breast/gravy recipe along with mashed potatoes and roasted garlic, Uncle Bens wild/rice and Stovetop sourdough stuffing with sauteed mirepoix, hack a store bought cranberry relish with apples, celery, pecans, oranges, and make that Red Lobster Cheese Biscuit mix in my pantry. Roasting a small sheet pan of root veges isn't a stretch and some kind of store bought pastry will fill in for dessert and be breakfast with coffee the next day.. It's just me, but accompanied by some Chateau Montelena Reisling and Motown music, I need to do something purposeful and dim last year's bitter experience. Happy Thanksgiving to all 🦃

  7. Question for host: As I browned the breast it seemed to absorb most of my oil. Maybe I didn't put enough oil in to begin with? And my aromatics weren't in the oil. Anyway, it's cooking in the oven right now!

  8. I just tried this recipe for a small Thanksgiving 2020, and it came out GREAT! The meat was incredibly moist, whereas it’s usually dried out in traditional recipes. The gravy was delicious, and we had leftovers for a few days. Ok, the skin was terrible, but we gave it to the dogs so there was no waste.

  9. After showing Julia making turkey this way in her video to my bff, he wanted me to make this for Thanksgiving this year. He got me a covered enameled cast iron pot just to make this dish, and I can’t wait.
