Our turkey is cooked wrapped in bacon and it is so good. We’ve been doing it that way since my very first turkey dinner in 1974. I was the one doing the whole Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. My Daughter always helped, now she does Thanksgiving the exact same way, it’s like I cooked the whole thing myself and just wonderful, while I sip the champagne I brought and she shoos me and the dogs out of the kitchen. Just like I used to do!
We took a break for our tradition when the family broke up and I moved here to begin without them. My daughter and her husband moved here too. The first few years we were kind of sad and lost still so we went out for an awesome Mexican dinner, then we reclaimed our holiday. It’s the celebration and being with family that is the most important, the bacon wrapped turkey is the bonus!
