Turkey Dinner

Yesterday two families came over to my house and I cooked a turkey dinner. The turkey was delicious, juicy & tender, the stuffing was fantastic as were the scalloped potatoes. 8.2kg is a lot of Turkey and we didn’t even eat half of it last night so everyone took home a big bag of meat and at my home we’ll be eating turkey for dinner and turkey sandwiches for lunch for at least a week.

That does look like a nice meal.  I don’t know about in Korea but it can be hard to track down turkey for some reason in most of the places I’ve lived.  Merry Christmas and best wishes in the new year!

Katie,
it’s been 10 years and this is the first year that I had an oven. Turkey can be found if you are close to a costco - the oven is an entire different story.
