Used herbs & spices suggested. Baked 14 lb. turkey in roasting bag in 2.5 hours at 350. Was golden, very moist, done throughout, & delicious. Stuffed turkey with dried apricots, raisins, & fuji apples. Used juice for some of the best gravy ever. Thanx much for the recipe. Will for sure use again. - 11/24/08

This is a great combination of seasonings for turkey. I also add rosemary, onion cut in quarters and an apple in quarters to the cavity. Adds flavor and moisture! if stuffing is a must, cook on stove or bake outside the bird. it will be easier to control and won't soak up all the turkey fat - 11/19/08

Instead of the garlic powder, use crushed garlic cloves . It cuts down on the sodium. Also, you can add a whole onion into the cavity of the turkey. For a little variety, substitute 1 cup orange juice for 1 cup of the water. The larger the turkey the more you get for your money 15 lbs. plus - 5/24/08
