I've watched this pair of videos every year for the past 6 years. My wife ran down the hallway yelling with joy this morning when she heard the intro music. We also love to quote you while we're making our turkey. Our favs are putting things on "liberally" (strong emphasis on the first syllable) and "listen to me now, hear me later." Wanted to say thank you while my turkey is currently in the oven for our Friendsgiving tonight. <br /><br />Hope you have a great holiday!Marcosaurus Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902405620628039315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-90599562173237466322017-12-03T12:58:21.947-05:002017-12-03T12:58:21.947-05:00Thanks for the tips, chef.Thanks for the tips, chef.Walmart Corporatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872999818475460114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60998768249622442162017-11-27T00:20:15.570-05:002017-11-27T00:20:15.570-05:00I used your recipe for turkey this Thanksgiving.

Or is the flavor cooked out of those ingredients? Anything else I should/shouldn't do? <br /><br />Thank you, Chef.lotus19https://www.blogger.com/profile/01334705093483263628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60724061738959556262016-11-24T23:21:41.255-05:002016-11-24T23:21:41.255-05:00Dude!

Can you let me know if 325 is for conventional or convection ovens? Normally the manufacturer says to lower the convection temp by 25 degrees. That would make it 300 degrees for convection. Does this sound right to you? Thanks again for your great recipes.

I want to do the herb butter under the skin method. I purchased a brined turkey and discovered tonight it has some sort of heavy spice rub on it. Would the cooking time still the same for a brined bird... 325 degrees, about 15 min per pound? Should the bird be cold from the fridge or allowed to warm up a bit before roasting? My turkey is 17.75 lbs. Also should I elminate some or all of the seasonings in your recipe since it appears 'pre-seasoned'?

But seriously, THIS IS GREAT, Chef John. This was my first year I was unable to spend Thanksgiving with my family and therefore my first year to do the turkey all by myself. I invited other loners over for a Friendsgiving feast and used this method, and MAN OH MAN do I have some new best friends. One guy liked it so much, I was afraid he'd ask me to marry him. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement and the great recipe. I'm not a real rule follower when it comes to 'recipes', but I used your general method and was so glad I did. FIrst year tackling the turkey, and it turned out terrific. Yay! <br />Thanks, Chef John!
