    I am definitely a fan of these recipes. My mother was always a horrible cook when I was growing up, and I never ate a turkey that wasn’t dry. I mean…these were TERRIBLE dishes to eat…they tasted like charcoal and they always flaked away into the gravy. I will definitely give these recipes a try this year

    Hmm… Call me old fashioned, but I am really fond of the traditional turkey and all the trimmings at Christmas time. These recipes are surely quite delicious, and I feel bad for people who have had a bad christmas turkey experience, but I can’t see me or my family changing this tradition any time soon. These dishes can wait until another day!
