This turkey was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would cook it for a little less time next time.

This turkey was amazing! I used a smaller turkey than the recipe called for, so I cooked it for a little less time. It turned out perfectly. The glaze was so flavorful and the turkey was so moist. I will definitely be making this again.
