Who's hosting Thanksgiving this year? 🙋🏻‍♀️  Your favorite food blogger will be cooking up some turkey and side dishes this year!!  That's right - my kids are going to be in town, my friends and family are coming and I'm planning an epic Thanksgiving feast!  Can you tell that I'm pumped about it?

So where are my peeps that aren't cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year?  There are some obvious advantages to not hosting the most talked about meal of the year but there are some disadvantages too.  Like - leftovers.  Hello?  There's nothing better than the day after Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches on one of my mom's famous dinner rolls.  🍞

I usually make a turkey for Christmas, but I would love to try your recipe. But, I have a question: your recipe is similar to one I saw on PBS, but, in that recipe, the turkey breast was also bone-in but the bottom (or underside) of the breast was open, so that there was no cavity to stuff. Is your breast open on the bottom, too? (And, if so, did you buy it that way?) TIA!

This would be such a great recipe to make for Christmas. I'm so glad that you've found my blog and this amazing turkey recipe.
A turkey breast that you buy in the grocery store is almost hollow inside. This recipe involves baking the stuffing in the bottom of the pan and placing the turkey on top to cook. It's not exactly "stuffed" but there is stuffing and turkey in one pan.
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Merry Christmas.
