Tasty Thanksgiving Turkey
“I have been trying to find a good turkey recipe for years. Over the past two years, I have tried several that had the potential but still not quite to our liking. This year, I took some basic ideas for seasoning a turkey and keeping it moist and created the following recipe. At our family gathering, this was a major hit. Absolutely no turkey leftovers!” – Linda

Tom Turkey Stuffing
“My mom always made this stuffing for our turkey. I would wait until it came out of the oven to cool and pull off the crispy pieces from the turkey. Yum! It is great the next day, cold with turkey on a sandwich with mayo!” – Lee

Perfect Turkey
“The turkey comes out perfect every time. My family loves how I do a bird so much that we have turkey more than once a year. Juicy, tender, mouth-watering meat, white and dark meat alike. Very easy to prepare because, like that old infomercial says, you set it and forget it.” – Joeyjoan

Roasted Turkey With Scrumptious Chestnut Stuffing
“I love chestnut stuffing for the added sweetness chestnuts bring. What I’ve always hated about stuffing the bird, though, was that it seemed that by the time the stuffing was cooked and safe to eat, the meat would be a bit dry. I could dirty another baking dish and cook the stuffing outside the bird, but I could do without the crust that formed. I came up with a few solutions this year and the result was amazing!” – Kami
