Thanksgiving 2013 - Preparing the Turkey

After looking at Mom’s recipe book I realized that not all the details were included for the complete dinner. One important thing missing was her recipe for turkey gravy. That was my biggest challenge. I used the internet and found a million “easy and worlds best turkey gravy recipes.” The internet was no help. I knew most of the basic ingredients by watching Mom over the years. So the week before Thanksgiving I made a roast chicken and tried what I felt was her recipe. It worked out great, so that’s what I used and now documented in her recipe book.
