I’ve been using this same recipe since November 1995. How do I know this? Because I have the old, stained magazine sitting next to me. I pull it out every year and know that the turkey will be perfect. Every year I also stick post it notes with times so that the next year I have a rough estimate on when to put in oven, etc.
Thanks Martha!
