All excellent points, and info. I will try some of them for our Christmas turkey. I prepare a couple of family meals each year at my sis (her house is twice the size of ours), and I go well prepared with everything necessary to make a...

I usually don't cook Thanksgiving dinner, that is my Sis and my Wife's big feast they prepare each year, I cook all the other family get-to-together meals, etc. My wife makes the gravy the standard way, equal amounts of turkey fat &...
