  • I haven't made your recipe in two years, but had to find it! Took me awhile, but I got it, sharing it on Facebook too! Thanks again!

  • This is the first time I've heard of a buttermilk brine- I've always used an aromatic water-based brine- but it's obvious this girl knows what she's talking about. That is one beautiful bird!

  • Hmmm, never thought about buttermilk on a turkey. I do that with my chicken , before I fry it , so why not a turkey ? Thanks for these wonderful tips !

  • thanks,,,,love it...

    

  • looks good i'm going to try it, but whats the purpose of the apples and oranges?

    Thanks

  • that turkey looks amazing, yum

  • guys go to her new website, for all her recipes. She moved from blogger to her own website. btw this recipe is the bomb, I used it last year?

  • also, do you think it would be ok to cook the turkey on it's back the entire time instead of half the time on the breast side?

  • your link for your recipe isn't working.  is there another link or can you give me the recipe please?

  • you're a lie saver! i cannot wait for thanksgiving now! im gonna buy all my ingredients tomorrow before there's nothing left at the grocery store lol

  • the hot water thing is soo smart! ima do that

  • can you repost the link for the full recipe. when i click on the link it above it says it doesn't exist. Thank you for posting this it is very helpful

  • Oh ok! Got it! Its my first time making thanksgiving dinner. Love your recipes so definitely wanted to check your turkey one out! Thanks for the help!

  • Im with nmacias. I don't understand the purpose of the buttermilk when you're going to rinse off.

  • @ViriBean The buttermilk mixture is only a brine. It's purpose is to deeply tenderize the meat and make it super moist. Once the turkey has sat in the buttermilk brine, there is no need for it anymore. It has done it's job, so it needs to be rinsed off. Example: Think of it like coloring your hair. You put the coloring in, let it do it's thing and then you rinse it out.

  • im confused as to why u have to rinse off the turkey after referigerating it for that long.. doesnt that make all the flavor and ingredients go away?

  • You are the bomb.com. I love all of your recipes. I want to try this, but I normally use oven bags to cook my turkey in. If I go that route, would I need the apple & orange?

  • FTW

  • OMG!

  • LOL

  • Happy Holidays!!!!

  • Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

  • hey what was that powder before the pepercorn you put in?? idk what that is and i really waant to try this recepie

  • I am. So. Very. Hungry ..

  • @YellowTardis Me 2

  • I am going to try this... Never thought of brining with buttermilk.

  • you recipes are always good, i tried just about all of them

  • During the first half of the cooking, do you place a foil "tent" over the top half of the turkey and then remove for the remaining cooking time? I've done this to prevent the top of the turkey from burning.

  • @johnlynn42 IDK

  • Girl you making me wanna bite the SCREEN! That turkey is looking mighty good!

  • @rss22 DELICIOSO!!!!

  • I really like how you prepared your turkey. I'm going to try it. But I have to say that I love the music to this video, what is the title of it and who performs it? Many thanks! Shllbmn28@gmail.com

  •  looks delicius yummy

  • Hey Diva,

    Your recipes are so down-to-earth it's AWESOME! I love brining, but I haven't yet tried buttermilk so I'm going to use your recipe. Since you love using buttermilk, have you ever tried saving a cup of store-bought cultured buttermilk and to it adding three cups of whole milk to make your own "cultured buttermilk"? It keeps going, just remember to save a cup for your next batch and you never have to pay for buttermilk again. Cheers!

  • @97WarriorGrad really thats a great Ideal, that will surely save me money, I love to use buttermilk when I bake.

  • I love your voice. So cute. Thanks for the recipe!

  • all i can say is instant orgasm!!!!!!

  • This is the best turkey that i have ever made! Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe!

  • I am the cook in the family, but never brined a turkey. I tried your buttermilk brine, and the turkey came out very moist. I brined for 2 days prior to roasting. Thanks for a wonderful cooking idea.

  • u sound really hot

  • I made this!!! Nothing short of perfect!!!! Thanks gal. You are the best!!

  • why must kosher salt

    

  • I was the talk of turkey day--I used your turkey recipe and it turned out fabulous. My dad fries the turkeys every year- this time everyone was talking about your recipe. Thanks- keep those recipes coming.

  • do u wrap urs in foil or like a oven safe bag when?

  • delicious looking turkey but i didnt see the recipe and thats so dam good

  • Hello, I used cultured buttermilk, should that be okay? Im hopeing so! Please get back to me asap..THANKS!

  • @tmedina2008 just a reply to you Q. Cultured buttermilk is the norm....uncultured also know as old fashioned buttermilk is actually hard to find now a days, but was easy to find back in the days when churning butter was the norm lol.

    So in short, yes, cultured is good. Im using this same recipe this year so i cant wait to come back on this vid and let everyone know how it turned out, would love to hear from you aswell. Happy Thanksgiving

  • @wayneready....Thanks! The bird was DELICIOUS! The meat was sooo soft and flavorful. We also used Divas mashed potatoe, cabbage, and the mac and cheese recipe! They were all a hit...Still eating the left overs tonight! THANKS DIVA!

  • The hot water method-can it be used if I am not brining? I just looked at my turkey and its pre-basted so i'm not brining but I'm still using the rest of the recipe. Please get back to me asap if you can. Thanks!

  • @Niamani8878 Yes, it can.

  • Is it an American chemicals industries movie ?

    In France this recipe is illegal and you could be put in jail for poisoning.

    Trop de complications pour rien ...
