This was the best turkey I’ve ever cooked. It was so moist it fell off the bones, and it was delicious

I followed the recipe to a tee and this was, by far, the best turkey I’ve ever had!
I’m also VERY kitchen illiterate, so the fact that this recipe was easy to follow was a huge plus!
I’m about to go shopping for the ingredients to make this delicious turkey again, this year, and I just figured I’dleave a comment.
