HomemadeTurkey Dinner

For dinner, I had a yummy home-cooked meal courtesy of my great-aunt and grandmother. Said great-aunt is visiting from NH, and loves to cook. I love her cooking, so dinner was awesome.

They roasted a huge turkey and made delicious gravy. I dislike gravy, but theirs was really flavorful. Apparently, part of the secret is to make a broth with the giblets and add it to the pan drippings. I'm also curious to try this as a shortcut to broth-making, or maybe as an additional step in making stock to enhance flavor. Sides included mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and salad. Dessert was a store-bought triple chocolate cake with ice cream. Everything was very tasty, and made with lots of love.
