Sounds very good. Did you have company... a 14 pound turkey is a lot
of meat. I usually roast a 14 pounder for Thanksgiving for the two of
us but we have a passle of cats who put a big dent in it, they
actually eat more than we eat. If we had to eat turkey ourselves I'd
likely roast a chicken. I only roast a turkey for Thanksgiving
because of tradition, but I much prefer chicken. The cats would
gobble up a chicken same as a turkey.
