I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this drunken turkey was actually really good. The cider and spices gave it a lot of flavor.

The turkey was moist and flavorful, but the gravy was a bit too salty for my taste.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients involved. I ended up simplifying the recipe and the turkey still turned out great.
