I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The skin wasn't crispy and the meat was a bit dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked the citrus and rosemary flavors to be more pronounced. The turkey was cooked well, but it was a bit dry.
