The saying goes “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”. This applies to Christmas turkey . I have always found that they look a lot better than they taste. We make one every year and have tried different recipes. If it was not for cranberry sauce I think there would be a lot more live turkeys around. We have tried small ones ( Guaranteed to be tender ) and massive things that you need a chain saw to cut up. Sage,nuts and onion stuffing, cranberrys and pine nuts you name it we try it, but in the end they are still uninspiring. Oh well I suppose we will have to wait till next year and try again. ( Maybe we will have gotten through all the frozen leftovers by then.) Turkey soup anyone.
