“NO BEANS IN CHILI! EVER!!”
Pff, no-bean chili is only good for chili dogs.
I’d stuff that.
That’s what I said....
That sounds wonderful , will have to try it sometime.
One of our family holiday songs - Sung to the tune of Frère Jacques:
Next Thanksgiving (Next Thanksgiving)
Save your bread (Save your bread)
Shove it up your turkey (shove it up your Turkey)
Be sure he’s dead (be sure he’s dead)
Ah, the holidays...
Yeah, slight confusion there. One thing I picked up from some British friends who have turkey at Christmas is to drape bacon strips over the top of the bird to help seal in the juices in the breast meat. They’re removed cooked and crispy after the first couple hours, making a nice snack. And the gravy made from the drippings in the bottom of the pan is to die for.
That is how we do it...Yum.

People who have only eaten that tasteless glop in cans have NO idea what cranberry sauce is supposed to taste like. "Ocean Spray" should be ashamed to put that glop out.
And making the REAL, fresh stuff is so easy; buy fresh bag of cranberries, wash the berries, add prescribed amount of sugar (per recipe on the cranberry bag-, cook a few minutes, cool a bit and put in frig. It comes out thickened. That's ALL.
Skip the orange or other cr** that people recommend you add. Anything added ruins the natural delicious taste of the fresh cranberries.
Some people strain it, but I like the whole berries in it. It not only tastes delicious, but a bowl of whole berry sauce looks beautiful on your holiday table.
I was thinking of putting already cooked dressing inside the bird before you put it in the oven. If the dressing were still warm, it would start heating the turkey from inside & maybe take a little less time to cook.
