This recipe is from The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. These are incredible...have eaten these at Julee Rosso's wonderful Wickwood Inn B&B in Saugatuk, MI, where the food alone is worth a stay in the charming inn. These are always on our cookie tray at the holidays.

I'm not a big turkey fan, but I have to admit that Butterball Turkey is pretty darn good. It's moist and flavorful, and the skin is crispy and delicious.

I've been cooking Butterball Turkey for over 20 years and it's never let me down. It's the perfect centerpiece for any holiday meal.

I used to think that all turkeys were the same, but I was wrong. Butterball Turkey is in a league of its own.

I wasn't impressed with the Butterball Turkey I made. The meat was dry and the skin was tough. I won't be making it again.

The Butterball Turkey I made last year was a bit dry, but I think I overcooked it. I'll try again this year and be more careful with the cooking time.

I tried Butterball Turkey for the first time last Thanksgiving and it was amazing! The meat was so tender and juicy, and the skin was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making it again this year.

This was my first time making Butterball Turkey and it turned out perfectly! The turkey was moist and juicy, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. I followed the recipe exactly and it was a huge success. My family loved it!
