I've tried many turkey recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The apple cider baste is a game-changer. It gives the turkey a beautiful golden-brown color and keeps it incredibly moist.

This turkey was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The apple cider baste kept the turkey moist and flavorful. The apple gravy was also a big hit. It was the perfect complement to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
