David loves turkey breast so I roast a bone-in breast at Thanksgiving. I
can manage to eat a small slice or two when it’s still warm from being
roasted, providing I have good gravy and side dishes. After that, it’s all
his or to the trash bin. Even our cats don’t care for turkey, although
they love chicken.
