EASY THANKSGIVING TURKEY | how to cook and carve the BEST turkey recipe

Hi friends! How many of you are cooking your FIRST ever turkey this year? If so, you've got this!! Don't be intimidated by cooking a turkey, it's much easier than you think. And remember that you can find the printable recipe and directions on my website. I can't wait to see all your turkey photos on social media. Remember to tag me! xo - Lisa

I followed the instructions from this video and successfully made the most wonderful turkey dinner for my family. This was the first time I ever attempted to make a turkey, and it turned out juicy and delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. 🦃🦃🦃

What about the carcass? again? Just incomplete tutorial.

Unless you like the taste of butter on your turkey (I know it's hard to believe that some people detest the taste of butter), DO NOT USE BUTTER!!!

The meat around the legs doesn’t look fully cooked.

I followed your recipe but 3/4 of a cup of butter it didn’t look like that in the bowl and my son and i were preparing it the night before and so used more butter and a few other seasonings to the butter as well. Unfortunately I made the mistake on using an oven bag, my sister swears by them, and will NEVER make that mistake again 😢. My son also carved the turkey and did an amazing job! But my turkey came out dry 😢. Was that because I used the oven bag? I also had not purchased the best turkey as trying to put the butter under the skin i had an awful time, but found another video and that person used a small spatula and I'm definitely gonna try that technique next year. Thanks 😊

Following your directions, this was the first time I ever cooked a turkey without stuffing it. It felt REALLY strange, lol. I even carved it myself for the first time. It was hands down the most juicy bird to ever emerge from my oven. Thank you so much. I've YET to be disappointed in any of your recipes.

I cooked a turkey for the first time yesterday for 8 people, and they all absolutely loved it! They already want me to cook the Christmas turkey as well, haha. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

what about all that onion and carrot and other stuff?

Why don't we put the lid on the roasting pan? I was always taught that kept the turkey from drying out?

Made this as my first turkey this year. I needed a little help, but it turned out very good, my family loved it! It cooked a little faster than expected.

The alterations I did was: ready made herb and garlic butter. We mixed some olive oil with the butter before putting on turkey. And our store didn’t have fresh sage so we used dried sage.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Was amazing!

Great recipe, thank you so much, first time my turkey did not come out dry! This one's a keeper!

Great recipe, was successful!

Best turkey ever. So many compliments. Thank you! I did put foil over the wings and a little foil over the top of breast because it was browning but it never burned.

Thanks for the video and recipe; turkey came out perfect! My carving needs some work but overall great Thanksgiving meal.

Our 4th year of making turkey by following this wonderful video. Still the most helpful video. Happy Thanksgiving!

Making my first turkey this year and using the video! What do I do if the “internal temperature” already reads 160° after only two hours of cooking?? (16lb turkey)

I made your recipe today, I have never made a turkey before. This was the best turkey I have ever had thank you. My guess said the same think. ❤❤❤❤

Great video, very helpful and if you didn’t tell us we would never know that turkey was too hot! You did it like a champ 😁

Its 2023 Thanksgiving Day and here i m back as always 😂

Great Video I really enjoyed her recipe for cooking a Turkey 👏🏾

Buy an unfrozen turkey 2 days before no problem or frozen 2 days before in fridge in a pan to hold juice

Where’s the gf gravy recipe

3rd year back for the recipe.

Ive come back for 3 years now!
This is my tried and true turkey recipe! ❤

Thoughts on using a turkey bag?

So at what temperature do I cook the turkey at

I’m doing my first turkey. Turns out I bought a7.5 lb young turkey that’s got no legs or wings 😅. It was kinda hard to stuff because of the bigger cavity on the bottom but we’ll see how she turns out 🤷‍♂️

This is the third year I’m making this exact turkey. My family loves it and I enjoy making it. ❤

I've made this turkey for the past 3 years and EVERYONE has loved it!!

Been coming back to this video every year for a few years now. It always comes out delicious and so juicy. Thank you for making this video

Thanks!

Not sure if someone else said this but tip one should be buy a fresh turkey not a frozen one

Why don’t you give Ramsay credit for this?

🎵 Everyone's talking about the bird
The bird, the bird, the bird is the word 🎵

Tired this past year absolutely nailed it and I’ve been chosen again back to this video I’ve come to refresh my memory 🙏🏼

My very first turkey and I'm doing the recipe as follows. I'll let you know the results when I'm done.

I followed this recipe three years ago for my very first attempt at cooking a turkey! I re-watched it several times when I needed to and let me tell you I surprised myself! it was so easy! It came out better than any turkey my mom ever made or that I've ever eaten before! If you're like me struggling and a little intimidated by a 15lb turkey or whatever use this video to gain confidence. If I could do it so cab you! bien provecho

I just finished cooking my turkey thank you for prayer I really needed that happy Thanksgiving and stay bless

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍👣🎚️🤲💌📬🔐 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you. God bless you. 🙏❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍🙏 Grateful. 🦃 Thank you God. Amen 🙏 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do.

Thank you for the nice way of cutting, the Turkey and serving, and I use the same technique for the preparation, and to always it appreciate by my guests .

Going to be trying this as my first turkey tomorrow! I found out WAAAAYY last minute that I'm making dinner, so of course the store didnt have all the ingredients I need. I got what I could find as far as seasonings go, so hopefully it comes out alright!

How did you put the herbed butter on the bottom of the turkey?? Did you just lift it and spread it on??

WHAT, you said 15 minutes per pound, but at what temperature

What temperature do you keep it at

I like your video because you explained it a bit better than gordy Ramsey.😏

Perdóname bella dama, pero el pavo està crudo.

Thanks!

You are amazing!!! Thank you for a wonderful informative video!!!

That presentation is GORGEOUS
