"I've made this turkey for years now. It is fabulous. For the lady wanting to cook a 20 pound bird, I would suggest cooking two 12 pound birds. My sister is doing that this year. You get more for your brine money doing two birds at once. She is brining in a cooler and the two birds fit perfectly. For folks who are saying that it is taking longer than it should, I would suggest that you get an oven thermometer and make sure that your temp is correct.

"God bless you Paula! My kids ate sweet potatoes two days in a row. Heck, they kind of fought over them - one kid complaining that another took too much! Half the family would not touch a sweet potato before I found this recipe and I like how easy it was to make. I put them on the same tray as frozen chicken tenders and everything was done at the same time! It is great to find a delicious way to inject a little nutrition into my athletic and often hungry kids. I sprinkled them with cajun seasoning, which my kids like, but, I intend to try her spice mix next time.
