I hope it continues. I took a different tack this year and roasted a fresh turkey breast. It was the best turkey I've ever had: moist, and flavorful.

Not only does it taste good, it sliced beautifully, and now I'll have multiple packages of turkey for sandwiches in the shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-5710397042374422282020-11-26T22:08:30.219-05:002020-11-26T22:08:30.219-05:00Jean:
