This turkey was very easy to prepare & like another reader commented, I put the glaze on the last 15 minutes of cooking. The turkey turned out perfectly! The white meat was still juicy & the dark meat took on the great glaze flavor. It was so good that it won in my family's turkey cook-off! Thank you Paula for providing me with all the tips & tools to be a successful cook.

I've made this recipe for a couple of years in a row now. So easy and the turkey turns out great. Very moist and flavorful. I've tried a couple of different recipes, but this is the best by far!! Thanks Paula

I made this Turkey last Thanksgiving and every loved it! I had no left overs. I added the sauce over the turkey the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.The family is so excited and have been asking me since October if I was going to make this turkey. It was only my second time preparing Thanksgiving dinner and it came out fantastic. My family rated my Turkey number one, even over the more experienced cooks in the family. Thanks Paula.

Paula saved our Thanksgiving! I had never made a 25 lb turkey before, but went out on a limb to prepare one for a hug family Thanksgiving celebration. Literally, "ran" to Paula's site and came across this trecipe. I did not have any of the Paula Deen House Seasoning, but it did not change the rave reviews I received on the final product. SO moist and delicious! One thing I did differently was pour the glaze all over the bird about 30 minutes before cooking time was through. It was fantastic! Thanks, Paula, for posting this recipe - loved it and will use it in the future, too!
