    Sam, I just made this turkey yesterday. My mom passed in February after fighting cancer for 4 years. This is our first Thanksgiving without her. She always cooked so I volunteered to do it instead this year. I'm 22 and this is my first time trying to cook for a group of ppl, let alone a whole turkey. I followed your recipe and it came out PERFECT. It just helped make such a hard time a little bit easier. Thanks so much!!

    Hey Sam! I did this exactly how you did other than the wine, I’m newly sober and didn’t want to risk a relapse. So I used home made chicken broth. This turkey turned out amazing. Even made my own gravy from the drip pan. Thank you for making my first time

      really late here. just to let you know though.if it is the flavor that might trigger a relapse then continue on with the way you are doing it. if not then the alcohol evaporates very quickly when the wine heats up. but you definitely cannot go wrong with broth, especially home made keep strong. you can do it

    Also you make real food, not food with ingredients that no one really buys on a regular basis and it is GOOD. Lastly, love the interaction you have with your son and your lovely wife Kelly when she is there..
    Keep it up Sam.. We love you!

    The part that holds the tail feathers is really Delicious, I cook it with the neck, and giblets. Cook them until everything is nice and tender with onions , peppers and celery with a bit of poultry seasoning. Chop everything up and add it to the cornbread you’ve made the night before, along with the cooking liquid. Mix well, season to taste, bake until it’s browned, and you’ll have the best cornbread stuffing ever. You can think me later

    I was too busy with other things to prepare the turkey this Thanksgiving (2021) so I had my daughter follow your directions after we let it brine for almost a day and a half; it was her first turkey. EVERYONE raved about it and said that it was the BEST-ONE-EVER!!
    A couple of days later when we were talking about the turkey, my daughter reminded us that she made it and then my son very adamantly said, "No(!!), Sam the Cooking Guy made it!" 🤣 We all had a good laugh.
    I was a little nervous about your technique and there was no room for "practice, but I was confident that if I needed to trust someone, it would be you!! Thank you, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family - a little late, but it's still the season.

    How refreshing to find this channel on the three basics of the Thanksgiving day turkey. Between the grandmother opening the oven every half hour and the father that eats the crispy skin off the bird as its still pipping hot and burns his month "every year, by the way" one would think he would learn. And it dry's out the dammed turkey, no time to rest. My Thanksgiving this year was a day early and simply the best! Followed your brine to carving to the letter!! Perfect...best tasting bird ever...stress free...gravy "OUT OF THIS WORLD"!! Your Thanksgiving is now my new tradition. I'm a new true follower of your channel! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

    So... I let the turkey stay a little damp and the salt stuck better. I used oak smoked sea salt😋. I took the TAIL and wrapped it back around the legs so I didn’t need string. Cooked it, rested it and let me tell you, that turkey was soooooo good! You cracked me up, but that technique is very effective!💜
