Introduction
May be made a day ahead of time. Wrapped and stored in frig, ready to cook when everyone is ready to smell the lovely fragrance of the holiday. Very low fat version if made without the turkey, baked in casserole. We always add brussel sprouts and sometimes potatoes to the roasting pan. Makes delicious pan roasted veggies easy peasy.
