  1. I have made this several Thanksgivings and it is my family's favorite turkey recipe...so flavorful and JUICY!
     
  2. SALTY! and we cut back to 2/3 cup. We subbed pineapple juice for the apple juice and used a homemade recipe for the essence of emeril. The turkey ended up sitting for an extra day so that may account for the big blast of flavors and the vote is 50/50 for making again.
