Introduction:
With a little planning and step by step instructions, this book will allow anyone to cook a complete turkey dinner. It doesn’t have to be completely gourmet to be delicious. Using ready made items like canned cranberry sauce and frozen vegetables will save time without sacrificing taste. I’ve always used these items when I cook turkey dinner and never had any complaints…. or anyone brave enough to complain.
You are the cook so you decide how fancy you want it. This is just a simple guide to cook a complete meal. You can add your favourite family recipe to the meal and of course your favourite dessert.
The menu chosen will allow you to shop one week in advance without having vegetables spoil.
If this is your first attempt to cook a turkey dinner, be sure to follow the step by step instructions. Following the step by step instruction (yellow pages ) will have dinner ready at 6 pm so start inviting your guests so you know how many to cook for.
