Yes! I would love for you to do a gravy video! My poor, sainted mother tried so many years to teach how to make gravy and I just never got it. She is in Heaven today for that alone! John, maybe I might be able to comprehend your method.
Used this recipe today and it was the best turkey I’ve ever cooked and I have been cooking turkey for over 40 yrs. My husband doesn’t like rosemary so I mixed in dried thyme, marjoram salt and pepper into the butter that I added to underneath the skin. Not using a rack under the turkey and cooking at 450 for the first 15 minutes….genius!!! I loved the addition of lemon, garlic and onion to the broth. Made for the juiciest turkey we’ve ever had. Better than brined. Thanks so much. I watch all your videos and they are my go to recipes
I'm a home cook (never to be confused with a professional!) and this is how I've made my turkey for the past thirty years. So glad I've been doing it right all these years. 😊
Almost comical - Steppy & Preppy. Like a dynamic Duo
Have you ever tried using and oven bag? or you do it exactly like the video? I am trying to decide if I should use an oven bag or not this year! This will be the first turkey I ever make!
Just wanted to let you know that this weekend, I made your turkey, your dinner rolls and your biscuits. All three were the best I have every made and honestly, the turkey was the best I have ever had! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

gravy
I have learned to trust you. I aim for perfection. You have delivered it more than once. Eclairs is one of the recipes you gave that is my favorite ever! I am trusting you right now and following your instructions without a Shelly twist. I’m Shelly. I love your delivery of your videos as well. They are clear and every moment is useful. Thank you so much. “A growing fan”
I am back, the best recipe , Thank you AGAIN !!!
Open turkey surgery! The things I learn on on your channel, John! Thank you, happy holidays and best wishes.
I love the random, unpolished moments. Such real life.
can't wait for Thanksgiving! thanks for the video 😀
Thank goodness. I have been watching turkey videos for a couple of days cus I’m making my first one this year and I’m so glad to have one from my most trusted source ❤
Followed your exact directions today....17 pound turkey- without a doubt- the absolute best I ever made. It is possible to make a perfect turkey! Thank you John!!!!!!!
This is great John for first timers!! I'm going to make one with confidence after watching this. Thank you!! 🎄 😊👏
A trick I learned from my mother in law forever ago, was because it could go to the table already cut up, to begin cooking the bird upside down. I know it sounds crazy but I leave it upside down for about 1/3 of the cook time. Then I roll it over and finish cooking it. It can flatten the top a bit so if you’re going for a picture perfect bird this may not help you.
But,,, doing it this way I’ve never had a dry bird!
Please do a gravy video!
I'm using things I've learned here for cooking my Thanksgiving Cornish hens, and while I have a general idea of making a gravy, I feel like it can't hurt to get that extra info from a highly trusted source 😸
I second that!
@@Earthy-Artist I third that
Me too, me too!
Yes gravy video please.
would love a gravy video - I am 63 years old and I have never made gravy - my mom made the BEST !!
I will be attempting this for Christmas, I hope it works out! It looks so gorgeous.
I do this for my roasted chicken and it works well! 😊 For the butter under the skin I also use 2 crushed garlic cloves. Don’t put the garlic butter over the skin, because it’ll burn. I also put the bird in a 275 degree oven for 1 hr, and then I turn the heat up to 425 degrees to finish cooking (obviously that temp is for chicken). It seems to help all the butter and juices soak in better. And then you can skip leaving the bird on the counter for 2 hours (like he did in the beginning).
I loved this video. I always have to refresh my memory each year because I only cook a turkey once a year
Same. I feel like it comes out good every year but I always have my doubts about everything since I only make it once a year. I Google stuff I already know how to make like crazy. I also always make wayyyy too much food to be sure we have enough.
I tried your recipe for thanksgiving yesterday and oh my gawd did it turn out FANTASTIC! The moistest and flavorful turkey I have ever cooked. The leftovers are to die for.😊 Thank you so much!
Here I am back again for this year’s bird! Delicious! Thanks man!
Beautiful Turkey! Would love to see you make a gravy video! 👍🏻
What would l do without your wisdom..... Thank you for sharing all your secrets. I learn so much from you... You truly are my favorite.... Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Love and blessings to you all, from Texas ❤🦃
Once again ! Excellent! This guy really knows it ! 👍
Great job as always - hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving 🦃🦃
I am 70 years young. I have cooked many many many turkeys. I had a couple of variations and they were tasty, no complaints from family. BUT, I decided to cook my Turkey your way, and lo and behold, I thought it was the BEST tasting turkey I ever roasted. The butter under the skin created the crispiest dark bird, which we love and the juiciest Turkey. I thought for sure the Turkey was burnt, but no it wasn’t. And I shuddered because I thought the Turkey would be dry with such crispy skin but no, it was delicious!! Thank you!! thank you!!❤ Love all your videos. You’re making a better cook of me.
Btw, I had many people in my family ask me for the recipe when I posted a pix of our bronzed beauty. 😂
❤ Merry Christmas to you and yours.
A very successful turkey recipe! I’ve tried several others over the years but this is it. So simple, yet the flavor, texture and color were just right.
Great video John😊😊
I swear, you're Jacques Pepín or Julia Child's Twin Flame 🔥💯 Lol You make what's intimidating to most SOOO doable and FUN to make a long with you. I love your videos! Best Cooking channel out there! ❤😊
I've been making Thanksgiving dinner for over 50 years, often for large groups of friends, but I'm going total Preppy Kitchen this year and following all your recipes. Including the pumpkin pie, with the pumpkins I grew myself. The only one I couldn't find is the turkey gravy recipe. Love your channel, Thanks!!!!
This turkey looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks to make a delicious turkey. Hope you and your family have a blessed thanksgiving!
Yes!yes! YES!!
The butter under the skin is a game changer!
My white meat was so juicy!
Yes John, I'm gonna need that gravy recipe. Thank you for showing us how to cook a turkey effortlessly. This is doable! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤
As we approach Thanksgiving 2023, I would definitely love a gravy video. And since my family loves ham for Christmas, I would also be interested in a “How to cook a ham” video. Love your channel 🌈💜.
Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day! 👍👏🍴
Happy thanksgiving John!!! Thank you for making this very easy and absolutely AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS recipe! I’ve never made a turkey before and I just finished following your recipe! The turkey turned so well for my first time! I’m beyond impressed thank you so much!!
Is anyone going to talk about how beautiful his garden is tho 🥲💁🏻♀️!!
I have to applaud you for being so calm and also a genius when it comes to baking and your timing of you tube topic releases!
You are the B E S T, good timing, thank you
I always mix softened butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder and rubbed sage to put under the skin and all over the bird. Such delicious flavor.
Yes make a video on how to make gravy
I have looked at half a dozen people cook the turkey. You are the only one that gave the temp of the ove . Liked all that you showed. Thant you
I love simplicity. Thanks
Since my immediate family lived away from extended I had to cook holiday meals on my own for over a decade. Then after moving closer I had tons of older women that did it and my husband, who loves to cook would do it. This year after letting my mother cook Thanksgiving, which she has always enjoyed, turned into a bit of a nightmare with the early onset dementia, and most of the older women in my life having passed away, I am back to making Holiday meals. To be honest, I don't enjoy big family holidays since they are usually full of people coming around and asking for advice for life problems...😑, but now I'm the older woman in the family and my time to step up to the plate.
I decided to just make sure I remembered the temp, my weights to time measurements correctly and found your video. Thanks for verifying that I haven't completely data dumped my brain from my turkey recipe. 😊
Looks amazing yeah we would love a gravy recipe 👍
You’re saving my life right now bröther
Great recipe John! You sure never disappoint. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family❤
I was afraid to make gravy for so many years. Please show everyone how easy it is!
A gravy lesson would be amazing!
Decided to try your recipe today for my first turkey EVER. I just about listened to and watched this video about 12 times day of! I added celery and sage in addition to what you had in the turkey and added more spices and fresh parsley to the butter to my liking. HOLY SMOKES. I followed your directions exactly, got my little heat thermometer and everything. I did end up putting foil on the top in the last hour and all was great! The turkey was so juicy that JUICE WAS FLOWING OFF THE CUTTING BOARD. The flavor was insane! And of course I made gravy from the delicious drippings.This was my first year hosting and my guests said it was the best turkey they ever had. You made my holiday, thank you so much! ❤️ much love from my kitchen to yours
So we had a turkey in our freezer I decided to cook today and I followed this recipe step for step and it came out great!! Wanted to say thank you!!
My first year hosting Thanksgiving, and I have been so nervous about the turkey! I am beyond excited that you posted this! I feel like I can relax now that I have you guiding me in this process lol
Never baste a Turkey. Just put the Turkey in the oven at 350 and never opened the door until the bird was ready and GUARANTEED to be soooo moist. Opening the door to baste let’s heat out forces the oven to worked harder and it results in drying out the meat. Turkeys need a slow gentle heat to keep them moist. Yes put butter under the skin or I put bacon over the breast to keep it moist.
Listen the Bruce
Or your guests are going to be chewing loudly and hard tomorrow for dinner 🤣🤣
@@yourtravelswithbruce my mom used to put pineapple slices on top of turkey, never thought of bacon.
You are my favorite baker here on UA-cam ❤
PREPPY KITCHEN, you saved my thanksgiving! Haven’t made a turkey in years - my turkey came out so juicy!!! Wowed family & friends - you really are the best!
John is our culinary sensei. Great do’s and don’ts review delivered with your usual crispness and charming humor. You are cherished….
Turkey is my absolute favorite. Yum!
2nd time coming back to this recipe i cooked it last year (my wife and I's first thanksgiving married) and it was honestly the best turkey we've ever had thanks again!!!
Used this method for our Christmas Turkey. Really good. Everybody loved it 👍🏼
Great man!
Thanks for putting together a video like this. It really means a lot for me, who LOVES turkey but never prepared one myself.
Don't forget to well season the cavity.
I always turn the wings under the bird to stay moist and not burn 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience! It was my first time cooking turkey, and I went for it just because your recipes turned out great. This one was not an exception - the bird was juicy, perfectly baked, and looked amazing! The smell of the herbs in the house was fantastic, and the "lemon trick" worked out great! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much. in addition to the great coaching... I was wondering about taking the "chill" off of the fresh turkey. You answered!!
Thanks sooo much for this video. Makes me feel more confident roasting my first turkey. Would love to see how you make the GRAVY!
Thanks for delicious recipes! You are helping me for Christmas.I going to try.

Excellent. Who needs food network? This guy is fantastic and so delightful to watch. Tailored this a bit for a turkey breast only and it was amazing.
My favorite part of the 🦃? The neck🤗
Never had turkey before is it like duck the taste

I just follow your recipe today, ànd my Turkey came out great! ❤thank you.
John, thank you for this video I will be sharing it. Hope you and your family have a safe and happy thanksgiving
Do you think adding too much rosemary and sage will effect the taste of the turkey and the gravey .
Also other thing you can use to stick the skin are the wooden toothpicks I use them all the time when I bake chicken or stuffed quails or pigeons because as I am an Egyptian cook we do stuff the pigeons and the quails with rice and roasted in the oven with special techniques
I will admit. I was annoyed when I first watched the video, i just wanted temperates and time. But I went through the whole video and followed your instructions. This was the BEST turkey i have ever had. It tasted amazing. I accidentally put too much rosemary in. It turns out, that is impossible. It was so juicy, and flavorful! Thank you so much, our christmas' and thanksgivings will never be the same.
It worked! Thank you!! It was great!
Ilove you recipes I watch all time from Boston Massachusetts 😍😍
I would love for you to do a gravy video!
This looks so good!!!!
My son loves your cooking style. Please do a video on easy way to make macaroons.
