Who actually slices a turkey (or a roast, for that matter) IN THE PAN?
It needs to rest for a bit before carving. On a cutting board. Usually
tented with foil. But hey, we know she doesn't like touching meat. And
this was pre-cooked turkey, just a reheat, so I doubt there would have
been much in the way of drippings for making gravy.

What's not to like? Cheap boxed stuffing with the addition of onion,
carrot and celery is something to look forward to! Turkey rollups.
Yeah, can't wait.
