Ah cool! I will check it out.

Ok, I tasted my turkey right before bedtime and I have to say I was disappointed. First of all, I threw in 3-4 sprigs of rosemary and it was WAY too much! I could actually taste kind of the unpleasant flavor of the volatile oils in the rosemary. Next time perhaps I'll use dried rosemary or use much, much less.

I forgot to do a bunch of things I meant to do like brine the turkey breast and use onion and garlic powder. The breast isn't dry but it's super, super dense and when I reheat it in the microwave it's going to dry out. If I had remembered to brine it I think the texture would've been a lot looser.

I also didn't taste the lemon at all, so the 1-2 Tbl of frozen lemon I had in there wasn't enough.

I didn't get any smokey flavor form the bacon fat I used, but it did taste good. Perhaps I should just go buy that smoking gun!
