This turkey was easy to make and turned out great. I used a smaller turkey than the recipe called for, so I reduced the cooking time by about 30 minutes. It was still juicy and flavorful.

I made this turkey for Christmas dinner and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the herb rub.

This turkey was good, but not great. The herb rub was a bit too salty for my taste. I would also recommend roasting the turkey for a little less time, as mine was a bit overcooked.

I made this turkey for Thanksgiving and it was a disaster. The turkey was dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
