    • You’re welcome and well deserved Nancy. When my daughter was down with covid, I made a big batch for the kids. My daughter’s friend came over to help clean out the refrigerator because so many people dropped off food and she threw them away the day after I dropped them off! I was so mad! She never even looked at them, just pitched everything.

  1. This looks great, Diane! Easy and delicious! And something we could make in our travel trailer’s convection oven. We sure couldn’t fit a whole turkey in there. Maybe a Cornish Hen. 🙂

    • Definitely a good one for the travel trailer. The oven is used just to warm it up. I would rather eat Cornish game hen or chicken rather than turkey on Thanksgiving but I try to keep up the tradition. 🤷🏽‍♀️

  2. Great idea! So many of us are not trying to feed an army any more. When I was young, my mother would fix a large turkey and a ham for our big family and visitors. She worried that someone might not like one of the meat choices. These days we worry about allergies, etc. more than desires. These are realistic problems, but I wonder how we got here!!!

    • Yes! Turkey and stuffing all done and only the sides and dessert to worry about. I love this for single people or a couple because you can make as much as you want without all that turkey mess.

      • Yes, it would work really well for a single person. Even when it was the three of us, we never had a turkey as it was too big, but my mom would get a turkey roll back then. We went through the phase of the cornish hens stuffed with raisins and wild rice – they were a bit messy.

      • I miss Cornish game hens! Terry said he doesn’t want them anymore because they are too much work to get a little bit of meat and messy like you said. I think they are perfect!

      • I know you like dark meat and Cornish game hens were mostly dark meat, what meat you can find on them (I agree with Terry about that for all the effort). I loved the stuffing (wild rice and raisins) almost more than the hens.

      • Yes, I remember. My father liked dark meat and he also liked goose. Growing up in Germany, when someone cooked a goose, they saved all the grease and put it into bowls to solidify. Then they save one bowl to spread on hot toast like butter and the other bowl to rub on people’s chest like Vaporub if they got a bad cold.

      • I know – my mom would put it into two jam jars and put them in the fridge and told him, you’re welcome to all of it, Linda and I won’t fight you for it. However, friends of the family were Hungarian and they do something similar, only with bacon. (I know you like bacon and maybe you’d like this?) Anyway, they had a Hungarian name for it which meant “bacon fry”. They cook a large piece of bacon over the open flame and once it starts to drip they put their bread underneath to catch the drippings. I was at my friend’s house and invited to stay for dinner and this was what they were having. They used a rustic-style unsliced bread, and cut it thick and put it beneath the dripping bacon. Then when it was saturated, they put salt and pepper on it, paprika and served it with green onions.

      • No, they just had rustic-type bread that they sliced in big slices and laid it under the spit. It is a Hungarian treat, but after adding things on top of the grease. It has a name. I just searched for it – a longish story, but will put it in a separate comment. You can see how they do the bacon, bread and “toppings”. I see they also show how you can cheat and just buy the lard instead of getting hot bacon drippings. I guess the lard with the pig on the label would be the same thing as my father wanting to save the bottle of goose fat drippings. What you grow up with I guess. At their home, it was one large piece of pork on the spit and we took turns putting our hunk of bread underneath it. I see you can also give everyone their own piece of pork on a skewer like roasting marshmallows. 🙂

      • It was a fascinating article Linda. I always have a container in the refrigerator with filtered bacon fat which I use instead of adding oil or butter to potatoes. I like how he said the liquid fat was dripping and he put his homemade bread under it. That bread looked amazing!

      • I’m glad you liked the article Diane. I didn’t know there were various ways to prepare this Hungarian treat as my friends’ parents, just had the bread and drippings. That rustic-type bread always looks amazing to me – I could break it apart and sit down with the butter and bread and make a meal.

      • Occasionally at Meijer I have bought those rustic breads – I wish they had smaller loaves though because I feel obligated to eat the entire loaf and it gets stale easily once you open the wrapper. I could just eat it with butter or peanut butter on that fresh bread. In Canada, it is kaiser rolls. They are bought at Jewish bakeries and somewhat of a Canadian treat. They are very crusty and wonderful.
