    Really good - moist meat, gorgeous skin color! My turkey weighed 13 lbs. Started thawing on Sunday, salted on Tuesday (still partly frozen - did need to run under water to loosen legs/wings and remove neck), cooked on Thursday. My larger turkey took over 3 hours to roast (I extended the time at 325 not 425); despite using a shallow roasting pan and the upside-down initial stint at high heat, the breast overcooked. Next time I will roast upside-down longer. Thankfully, the breast was still fairly moist. After the initial 30 min at 425, the wine had mostly evaporated so I had to add more as the drippings started to burn. After roasting, I deglazed the drippings with chicken broth. I used a different, make-ahead gravy recipe, enriched with these drippings. I'd never put butter inside the cavity before and am not sure it added anything.

    Amazing! Best turkey ever and the pan juices made the most amazing gravy. Dry brined for 2 days and the result was as promised. I've made it 3 times now and each time I've had positive feedback. I've tried several other methods over the years but can definitely say this is the best
