One of the best roast turkey videos I've seen. You touched all of the bases in a simple, yet thorough and effective way. The only thing I would do different is season the bird and leave it in the fridge overnight, for added flavorful. I always season meat overnight, Old habit. Excellent video though. Thanks.
OMG! I accidentally found you and decided to follow your steps - EXACTLY as you have here (minus one... (I put the veggies in the pan but still used a turkey holder and I also added whole Bella mushrooms to the carrots, onions and celery)... but other than that - every step exactly as you teach here - and OMG... OMG... girl! This was the most delicious turkey and gravy I have ever prepared... and I have cooked maybe 30-40 turkeys (and full holiday dinners) over the years. Too bad we can't add photos because this was just fantastic and our guests loved every morsel! THANK YOU for this! Subscribed! And will also check out your website. I LOVE connecting to creative women! YOU ROCK!
Dimitra, I decided to follow your recipe because I have the same size turkey. I cooked one in the bag last time. Your recipe was a hit. Thank you for sharing and everyone loved the gravy. You explained everything very well. Thank you.
Hi Dimitra, today we have the big meal for Thanksgiving and I just put the turkey in the oven. It's the second time I cook a turkey ever in my life. The first time was in spring for Easter when I tried this recipe for the first time. Since it came out divine, today it's your recipe again with no modifications, no additions, just as you wrote it. Thank you so much for making me feel confortable enough to make a turkey again, you are a wonderful person and a great cook!!! ☺♥️🇨🇦
Dimitra! The turkey 🦃 will taste great with all the ingredients you added but the way you placed it on the platter and garnished it with herbs and fruits is out of this world! With so sophisticated food you could celebrate every single day. Bravo!!!
Twice in a year I see your amazing and helpful video to make the most delicious turkey for thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you so much for your detailed description how to make it.
Just wanted to say you are absolutely awesome. I bought your book. But I tip my 🎩 to you !!! Because you are kind to share your recipe with all who may not be able to get your book for various reasons. All the Luck to you
Really appreciate and enjoy your videos/recipes. I love you share the recipes from your family members. I hope other cultures share recipes so traditional recipes are never lost
I love your style...."I'm not sure what it is but I just do it". Lol!! That's how I do it too! Whatever gets it done with a few techniques I know that work. Lol! Looks delicious! Looking forward to checking out your other recipes
Thank you for the information I always have a problem with temperature of the oven and how much time to keep the turkey moist, I like the way you explain each step, this Thanksgiving I will follow your delicious recipe, God bless you
That leg looks so flavorful. I would have loved to see it before cutting. Looking at the leg, I can tell that turkey was beautiful, aramatic and delish!!! Thanks!
Just me this 'Un'Thanksgiving so will use most of your suggestions, except will chop up things smaller under the turkey instead of leaving whole and will cut down on the salt by at least 2 teaspoons since that amount will probably raise my blood pressure too high! My gravy will be a little thicker otherwise it will dribble all over my 'shelf' (chest) haha. Not old enough to wear a bib yet although I'll be on my own. I always bake my stuffing outside the turkey because I hate struggling with it later, although it tastes better when cooked inside the bird. Going in the oven first thing in the morning for a full day and more of turkey plus leftovers and then some small snack pies for the freezer. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us, it looks perfect!
Yassoo, Dimitra mas. Well done. This is the way my yiayia would fix the turkey. You made it look very doable and practical. Many people are intimidated by cooking turkey and you have showed them it's not that difficult. And you carved it in the kitchen and plated it there. I agree. Efharisto!
Wow you are so informative. Thank you for the great ideas for how to roast a turkey in the oven. I have always smoked turkey in the past but I have never cooked it in the oven before. I'm going to try your meathead this year for thanks giving.
First time I came across this channel, I must say I am impressed and i love this recipe. In my country we do Ham and Turkey on Christmas eve night as tradition, while we bake bread, cakes, make ponche de creme and put up our curtains. I am going to try this. Thanks for going through all the steps and keep up the wonderful job, keep those recipes coming😊😊👍
I really like the way you seasoned your Turkey, I'm gonna cook Turkey for Christmas I will definitely try your way. Thank you for sharing and happy holiday 🙂
My wife & I are roasting our first turkey this year & this is definitely the recipe we’re following!! Thank you for the gravy part of this video as well! Much love & Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Dimitra, at first, happy new year. We had our Turkey for NYE, and it was sooooooo juicy and delicious. My guest's said, it was the best Turkey they ever had. Thank you so much for this perfect receipe. THANK YOU 💘☘💘☘
I will definitely try this recipe. Trying to roast my first turkey couple of weeks from now. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Finland, but it doesn't stop us roasting our turkeys 😊
Happy Thanksgiving and I'm going to use this recipe today ( yes, it's "Turley day "!!🦃)& my first time at making the big 🦃day meal without my dear departed Mom ❤,Sooo ...thanks so much & again, Happy Turkey day!to you and yours,,( and I've read alot of the comments, most are very nice but I don't get why some people are just mean and rude!! I guess they're just miserable and want to spread it out to the rest of the people watching......"you get what you give" so you will get good things & happiness!!!😉👍
As always,great ideas and excellent presentation for cooking such an American classic! There are at least as many ways of cooking these birds as there are turkeys, but, this one looks very simple yet loaded with great flavoring ideas. You never disappoint ! 😁😁
Nice D! I made your Turkey dish today for Thanks giving, It was nice and moist and juicy. The gravy was thick and full of flavor thanks D good stuff :)
This is my first time to watch you in the kitchen. I love your explanation thanks for sharing. If I want to order the baked turkey how much will it cost? Let me know if possible I can order it thanks.
11-25-19 Im trying this recipe on one of my turkeys this year and I must say I really enjoyed mixing the ingredients they smelled so good I just can’t wait to taste the outcome . The only thing is I’m going to be marinating it for 3 days 👀. I hope 🤞🏽 it taste and looks as good as yours! Thank you for sharing your recipes 😘
ivy and roses the rule is usually 20 mins per pound but, it all depends on your oven. The best thing to do is to stick an oven safe meat thermometer into the thigh and once the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit its done!
I missed you. My God, I couldn't remember your channel name. I think my last viewing was shortly after a hurricane. So good to see you on screen cooking! Celeste, in the ATL 💐
i made this for my family last year, it was the most DELICIOUS turkey ever! i was on a little hunt to find this video again and i’m so glad i did. will be making it again this year ❤️
As always, thank you Dimitra for sharing your recipes 💕 I hope your Thanksgiving was peachy. I made the turkey yesterday using your recipe (doubling the ingredients as my turkey was 24 lbs.) and it was the most delicious and super moist turkey ever! I replaced some butter with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. I also let the turkey sit over an hour before serving. I've never liked turkey much but this recipe has changed my mind! We have a whole lot of leftovers to enjoy 😋 Many thanks 🤗
i made the turkey and gravy following your recipe except for scraping orange and lemon zest I used just the juice I did not have parsley to stuff the turkey but i had garlic and cummin to stuff inside. Thank you for the great recipe everything came out delicious. For the first time i actually made real gravy with right texture . In the past i would add all the drippings to a few cups of water not really measuring how much flour and butter to use and the results were not very favorable. My only regret was buying a 10.5 lb turkey instead of 18-20. A 10lb turkey wont give you much in leftovers for the next day. White meat breast is less than 2lbs . 10lb sounds like alot but its deceiving Next year i will use same recipe with a larger turkey
I like your cooking! I know cooking this recipe of yours I know my family live it. Send a greeting online and God bless you and family Merry Christmas to you

Turkey is a Turkish dish even the name of the country it has 🤝🦃🇹🇷
I love your version of roasting your turkey👍
I love how the turkey was seasoned with butter and herbs,it's so important to use seasonings to give the turkey great flavor.
Great Video1,,, still the easiest with great complicated flavors. Very detailed and nothing wasted. Thank you for sharing.

That's very helpful tips and delicious yummy yummy recipes thanks for sharing sis.
very tasty hell a year ago thanks dimitras
Mhmhm I like turkey its very tasteful 🤝🦃🇹🇷
U can also just leave the butter unmelted and mash in the other ingredients and leave the butter a paste. It's easier to put on the turkey.
Greetings from Dublin. Your demonstration was excellent and I will "copy that" for my Xmas dinner. Thank You.
Happy holidays!

How long would you cook a 13 lb 4 oz turkey for ?
Thanks.
First timer
ivy and roses the rule is usually 20 mins per pound but, it all depends on your oven. The best thing to do is to stick an oven safe meat thermometer into the thigh and once the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit its done!
@@DimitrasDishes Dimitra, Thank you so much. Now I know how to proceed. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving !!
