If you aren’t sick of my Thanksgiving play-by-play yet, I wanted to let you know that the turkeys turned out great! The boys and I each tried a small bite as I sliced them up last night, and everyone agreed that they were yummy. My 11yo even said that I could win a turkey-cooking contest. Coming from an aspirant Food Network chef, that was high praise! 🙂

I was a little concerned that the meat might dry out overnight &/or during reheating, so I added the broth from the drip pans to the storage containers. The one we were taking to church went into a large, plastic click-top type of tub, but the one for family went into a new aluminum pan wrapped snugly in plastic wrap. I knew we’d be reheating that one in the oven, so I arranged large pieces of the roasted skin over the sliced meat to help insulate it and keep it moist. I just replaced the plastic wrap with foil for reheating, and it worked out great.

Even my cousin (who normally brings the turkey and is known for speaking his mind) said that I’m now nominated to do the turkey for the next, oh, 30 years. haha! 🙂  I appreciated the kind compliments, and I’m glad it turned out so yummy!
