I like turkey ONCE A YEAR....and than a nice serving of 'Pernil' (Roast Pork with the skin nice and crisp.....mmmmmmmm). Of course, I'm the one who makes it....its in the oven NOW....and with 'Arroz con Gandules', I would also make 'Spatzle" from scratch (have to cater to my heritages) with a delicious pork gravy
I also make a great stuffing....excaelis....if you're good I might give you the recipe

Seriously everyone, have a Blessed Day
