“This turkey will be a wonderful centerpiece at your holiday meal. The seasonings rubbed onto the turkey are a great combination. The skin gets nice and crisp while the meat stays nice and tender. The breast meat stays moist for the oranges under the skin and stuffing the cavity with onions and lemons gives the whole turkey a great flavor.” - The Kitchen Crew

It comes out beautiful and juicy EVERY time! That is how I always do my bird, and everyone ALWAYS raves.” - cwhisenhunt
