Practice Mad Max Turkey Cooking Today

EggHeadDad

I have read about and heard about Mad Max Rosen's recipe for several years now but never tried it.  So in prep Thanksgiving this year I thought I'd experiment when the pressure is not on success for dinner.  ;-)  I am using a 13 pound turkey I picked up at Wegmans.  



I will be posting pictures throughout the day to my Flickr album for anyone interested in watching the progress.   Here is the link to the full set of pictures:  Tom's Turkey Cook on Flickr  Enjoy!

Local to Springfield, VA?  My wife is out of town this weekend so swing on by for a beer and some BGE turkey talk.   Cheers!

Taste was very good, but not great.  Nice and moist, but not as much spice flavor that I would like.  I might play with some seasoning of the left over gravy.  Relish was a great blend of sweet and sour.

Any suggestions you have or things you'd do different?

I had used unsalted butter for the gravy . . . it probably could have used a little extra salt.  I also went easy on the salt in the turkey.  I did not brine the turkey either so I might consider doing that for Thanksgiving.
