In my family, we generally did NOT serve turkey for holiday meals. We served cornish game hens-1 bird for each person attending. Takes 1-1 1/2 hours to cook them, they're incredibly tender, each one plus dressing and extras is enough to fill up each guest, and they're delicious-especially when each is cooked in its own baking bag with a lot of real butter as basting. And no leftovers, and no giant mounds of cooking utensils to wash!
I've made myself hungry.
Yummmmm Made me hungry tooooooo.........
