Thanksgiving turkey experiment: Huge Success!

[adelheid_p]

The turkey was moist and flavorful. Although the herb and garlic flavor didn't really come through so I think I'll just brine with salt and sugar next time. I sent some dark meat home with a friend for her cat who has food allergy issues and she ate it instead! She said that for the first time it wasn't slimy. Also, the drippings from the turkey that I used for gravy were salty so I need to note that I don't need to salt the gravy at all next time. I undersalted the mashed potatoes and stuffing so both worked well with the gravy.
