In recent time I have been buying pre cooked, turkey hindquarters from the
bbq chicken section of one supermarket. They are very tasty, moist and just
the right size for one family meal. Frozen section also has self basting
hindquarters if I wanted to ever bother cooking one So a turkey dinner
would be quite easy for me to do. With all the liquid sauces around these
days it is just a matter of cooking veggies...
