My turkey turned out great! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the cooking time was spot-on. The turkey was perfectly cooked and the stuffing was delicious. I'll definitely be making this recipe again!

I've tried many turkey recipes over the years, but this one is definitely my favorite. The turkey is always moist and tender, and the apple-sage stuffing is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe!

This recipe was a disappointment. The turkey was dry and bland, and the apple-sage stuffing was too sweet for my taste. I won't be making this recipe again.

Not bad, but not great. The turkey was a bit dry, and the apple-sage stuffing was lacking in flavor. I think I'll stick to my usual turkey recipe next time.

This recipe produced a moist and flavorful turkey, but I found the apple-sage stuffing to be a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll try using a different stuffing.

Maybe I did something wrong, but my turkey came out a bit dry. The flavor was there, but the meat was a bit tough. I might try adjusting the cooking time next time.
