Not a great pic, but made a turkey using Alton's method
Being of the 'let's make everything as difficult as possible' school of thought, I actually made the veggie stock myself thinking "well, I have a ton of carrots and onions, this should be cheaper than $2 / quart stock that trader Joe's has". WRONG. Especially when you have to go to whole foods late night to pick up some $2/lb celery.
Despite that monetary setback, the stock turned out nice (though it was only used for brine - so massive waste) as did the turkey. Very moist and the brine imparted light flavor that wasn't overpowering.
I kinda botched the planning as I didn't bother to make any dressings (need to put together a killer sausage stuffing recipe), and didn't even bother to make gravy (which was a shame as the drippings were DELICIOUS and I ended up just throwing most of them away).
Still, great recipe overall.
