Turkey has been a mainstay on the Thanksgiving Day table for centuries. At one time Benjamin Franklin suggested that the turkey be the national bird instead of the bald eagle. So, turkey has gained quite the measure of importance in American and other societies. Honestly, Tom the Turkey doesn’t always want to be the center of attention - especially at dinner.
Many people are substituting other dishes as the main dish for the Thanksgiving meal. Maybe you are not having a big family get-together this year and everyone is fending for themselves. If that is the case, there is no need to fix a fifteen pound turkey with all the trimmings and dessert for less than a handful of people.
